As WW said, both Cunningham and Rogers are dead. Cunningham was blasted right there, the force from hitting the ground, profuse blood loss, probably snapping his spine, and the amount of firepower pumped into him, combined with shock and the fact that everything most likely went into vital organs, and he's dead. Plus, the Feds wouldn't have wanted to patch him up anyways. To them, he's a bad guy, why patch up the guy who was trying to kill us thirty seconds ago?

Rogers, well, the fact he stopped speaking at all proves he's dead. And if you look closely, his shields snapped in the last second. Plus, that was a point blank range explosion. Someone in Fed armor, with it's notorious durability (or possible lack thereof, if the heavy losses they took in Season 11 are any indication) isn't going to walk away from that.
