Cowboys cornerback dislocated his knee and popped it back in like he was folding down the leg of a table

Maybe skip over this one if you’re squeamish.

Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones dislocated his knee against the Jets on Saturday’s Thursday Night Football. It’s the kind of injury that makes you recoil in fear, but he made the whole thing seem so calm and worry free. Heck, this is how he explained the whole thing to the Dallas Morning News:

“It just felt stuck for a little bit. I just straightened it out and it felt good,” he said in the postgame locker room. “I didn’t notice it was over to the side. I felt it stuck a little bit, so I just slowly straightened it and it just felt good from there.”

Thank you Byron Jones. Thank you for making this injury seem way less terrifying. If any of us dislocate our knee we hope we can stay as calm as you did.
