Dez Bryant may have been ecstatic after the Cowboys knocked off the Giants last night, but he got some really bad news following the game. According to an ESPN report, Bryant was told that he has a broken bone in his right foot that will require surgery and, as a result, he will miss the next four to six weeks for Dallas. The injury took place during the third quarter of last night's game.

Despite the bad news, Bryant seemed to be taking it all in stride after the game. Outside of turning up outside the locker room with his teammates, he also sent out this tweet:

I'll be back soon but how about 9????????#cowboynation

The Cowboys have the Eagles, Falcons, Saints, Patriots, Giants, and Seahawks on their schedule over the next six weeks, so they'll obviously need Bryant back sooner than later.
