Bills CB Dane Jackson Hospitalized After Collision 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Sep 20, 2022 12:25 pm

Buffalo Bills cornerback Dane Jackson was being evaluated for a neck injury at the hospital Monday night following a collision with a teammate.

Jackson has full movement in his extremities, according to the Bills, who beat the Tennessee Titans 41-7 at home.

\"Still awaiting word and obviously praying for Dane and all of [the Bills\' injured players],\" Sean McDermott said. \"You go from the real part of it here; you go from being a coach to just being a human when I\'m out there watching him getting loaded into the ambulance. That\'s a real moment.\"

The inadvertent collision occurred while Bills linebacker Tremaine Edmunds was making a second-down tackle on Treylon Burks with less than a minute remaining in the first half. Jackson\'s head appeared to snap back after making contact with Edmunds\' helmet.

\"Definitely a tough play. Just kind of saw the receiver still up, just trying to finish the play,\" Edmunds said. \"A situation that obviously, I didn\'t do intentionally. I would never try to do something like that to my teammate, but like I said ... the receiver was still up, I was just trying to finish him to the ground and unfortunately, I end up hitting Dane.\"
