Buffalo Bills Fred Jackson Wrist Injury

It was scary for a few moments in practice when running back Fred Jackson went down on the tail end of a running play during Tuesday's practice and did not get back up. Jackson was stripped of the ball as he crossed the line of scrimmage during 11-on-11 work as Donte Whitner swooped to make the play. Whitner apparently hit Jackson on his right wrist and thumb, which was heavily tapped going into practice. The running back was in obvious pain after the play and stayed down while the athletic training staff tended to his injury. Eventually he got to his feet and went to the training room about 45 minutes prior to practice. Jauron said, Jackson wrist had had been sore and that the injured area was hit again on the running play. Fred got hit on the thumb and we are hoping that he is Okay, "said Jauron. "They took him in to look at it and they will probably x-ray it too. I don't want to say it is the thumb because he had fine movement in his thumb. I was the wrist area. Finally, the health of Jackson is critical knowing that he will be the team's starting running back while Marshawn Lynch serves a three-game suspension.
