Allen Hurns was taken away on a stretcher after suffering a nasty lower leg injury during the Dallas Cowboys’ Wild Card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night.

The Cowboys had a 3rd-and-7 in the first quarter and completed a pass to Hurns, who got a first down and more. However, his leg was injured when he was tackled as it was held in one place while someone fell on it, causing what appeared to be a broken bone.

Hurns was in a great deal of pain and had to be strapped onto a board and carted off the field.

Hurns raised fist as he was driven off field. Tears ran down his face as he was loaded onto cart. Players from both teams sent him off. This is second-straight home game Cowboys have to shake off seeing a teammate carted off field and keep playing.
