Dane Jackson
When Buffalo Bills’ cornerback – Dane Jackson left the Highmark Stadium in an ambulance, many thought of it as the potential end of his career. After a horrifying collision with his own teammate – Tremaine Edmunds in the second quarter during the dominating victory over Tennesse Titans, Jackson’s injury seemed to be on the worse possible end.
Buffalo Bills revealed that Dane Jackson had movement in his extremities before he left Highmark Stadium and was taken to a local hospital. However, the latest reports released on Tuesday morning have been a positive sign. Not only for the player but for millions of footballing fanatics all over the world.
Mike Garafolo revealed that Dane has been discharged from the hospital, as he escaped a serious injury and is recovering back at home. With assumptions of the 25-year-old majorly hurting his neck and spinal cord, chirping all around the stadium. It is indeed a sigh of relief to read these reports.
While Edmunds was trying to assist in tackling receiver Treylon Burks in the last minute of the second quarter, when he unknowingly made strong contact with Dane Jackson’s head/neck area. When Jackson laid down on the ground, the team’s reaction spoke volumes about their teammates situation and pain he was enduring.
However, Edmunds was given a thumbs up by Dane Jackson before leaving the field. The entire Bills’ dugout ran onto the field to check upon the 25-year-old cornerback. When emotions were running super high on the field, Damar Hamlin, who is a close friend and former college teammate was being consoled on the side-lines.
That being said, there is no official word upon the return date of Dane Jackson. But for now, let us all take a sigh of relief in knowing that he is out of all sorts of dangerous possibilities. Hopefully the Buffalo Bills can make the season and the upcoming games count and win for their star cornerback.
