(Michael Ainsworth / Associated Press)Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns, who suffered a gruesome injury to his left ankle early in the wild-card game against the Seattle Seahawks, underwent surgery immediately Saturday evening. On the Cowboys' second offensive possession, Hurns had just hauled in a 14-yard catch on third-and-seven when Seahawks safety Bradley McDougald fell on his leg. Fox showed a replay before determining that, even in an NFL season of unusually gruesome leg injuries, it was not suitable for showing again. “He has a dislocated ankle, as well as fractures in his leg,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters immediately after the Cowboys' 24-22 victory. Redskins quarterback Alex Smith required multiple procedures to deal with infection after breaking his leg in mid-November.
