The injury occurred during a run by Miami running back Jaylen Wright, with Jackson getting caught up in the pile and later being helped off the field by athletic trainers and taken into the medical tent. He then made his way to the locker room before the team announced he would be lost for the remainder of the contest.

It was just the third appearance from the Bills’ rookie this season, who had struggled to earn a game-day jersey even with several Buffalo defensive linemen out due to injury. Buffalo was already without EDGE A.J. Epenesa, who was declared out for the game on Friday due to a concussion sustained during a Week 9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
