Bills Injury Report: Fred Jackson Out vs. Dolphins

The Buffalo Bills have announced that running back Fred Jackson will not play during the team’s Thursday night contest against the Miami Dolphins, reports Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com. “It looks like Fred will be out this week,” said Bills coach Chan Gailey. “The tests this morning were not as good as we had hoped and he had hoped so he won’t play this week.” Gailey confirmed that the team has diagnosed Jackson, who left Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots with a head injury, with a concussion. The running back was hit in the back of the head by the elbow of Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes after catching a pass. With Jackson sidelined due to the concussion, running back C.J. Spiller will see a bulk of the carries against the Dolphins. He’s certainly no slouch, as he’s had several big games in place of Jackson this season.
