Kevin Ogletree Follows Dez Bryant Onto Injured Reserve List for Cowboys

A week after the Cowboys lost ace rookie receiver Dez Bryant for the year with a broken leg, another Dallas wideout is done.

Kevin Ogletree, who had moved into Bryant's third receiver role last Sunday against Philadelphia, suffered a season-ending injury to his right big toe on a kickoff return against the Eagles. Special teams leader Sam Hurd, who has eight catches for 68 yards this year, figures to take that spot for the rest of the season beginning Sunday against Washington.

"It's difficult, but it's the nature of the game," said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett. "Injuries happen ... and someone else gets an opportunity. Kevin got an opportunity last week after Dez got hurt and did a nice job. (He) caught three or four balls, a couple of 'em for first downs and was productive with the opportunities he got. Unfortunately, we lost him, but it will be someone else's opportunity to hopefully step up and be productive."
