Injury Updates On RBs Fred Jackson, Marshawn Lynch

Buffalo News

Aug 15, 2010 · 1:48 PM EDT

Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson will be out four to six weeks with a broken bone in his left hand, sources tell the Buffalo News. Jackson suffered the injury in the Bills' preseason opener Friday night against the Washington Redskins.

The injury makes Jackson very questionable for the Bills' season opening game against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 12. Four weeks from the injury would be Sept. 10, two days before the Miami game. Four to six weeks is a standard recovery time for a broken bone. The fact the injury is to his left hand might allow him to return on the optimistic side of the timetable.

Meanwhile, running back Marshawn Lynch is expected to be out three to four weeks with the sprained ankle he suffered against Washington. The injuries put rookie first-round draft choice C.J. Spiller more in the spotlight heading into the season. Spiller was expected to be a featured element of the Bills' offense with or without the injuries.

The injuries also give one of the Bills' reserve running backs - Joique Bell and Chad Simpson - even more of a shot to make the 53-man roster entering the season. There was a chance one of those two would have made the 53-man roster even if the top three Bills backs were healthy.

Fantasy Impact:

Get ready for the C.J. Spiller show in Western New York. Spiller was already higher than Jackson and Lynch in our rankings, and the fact that Jackson might not play opening day makes Spiller even more valuable. He's going to open the season as Buffalo's featured back.

RBs Fred Jackson And Marshawn Lynch Injured

The Buffalo Bills' backfield took a major hit Friday night as running backs Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch were hurt early in the 42-17 preseason-opening loss to Washington.

Jackson is believed to have a broken left hand, while Lynch hobbled off with an injured ankle.

Jackson's injury is the most serious as head coach Chan Gailey said Jackson will miss the rest of the preseason and may not be ready for the start of the regular season. Jackson was on the sideline wearing a soft cast on his hand.

"We hope to be able to get him back for the first game," Gailey said, "[but] not sure."

Gailey does not know the extent of Lynch's injury, but he also may be out a while.

Jackson and Lynch went down on the Bills' first offensive possession. Jackson was hurt on the second play from scrimmage when he was brought down by the face mask after a 7-yard run. Their absence prevented Gailey from utilizing some of the plays he installed for the game.

"When we lost those two guys we lost an awful lot of stuff we were trying to do in this ball game," he said. "Those of you who watch practice saw a lot of the two tailback stuff and we were trying to use that quite a bit tonight. That kind of went out the gate when those two guys went down."

They are the team's most experienced backs. Jackson led the team in rushing last season after Lynch was tops in yards the previous two years. Now C.J. Spiller, fellow rookie Joique Bell and Chad Simpson are the only healthy ball carriers.

"It hurts," Gailey said. "Thank goodness it's preseason."

Fantasy Impact:

C.J. Spiller's stock just rose with this news. Jackson's stock drops. Lynch, if he recovers quickly, might have more value on draft day than he previously had. But we won't know more about Lynch's injury until later.
