Buffalo Bills WR David Nelson's Injury Could Be Serious and More AFC East News

One injury can put a damper on an entire season.

That's what I wrote just moments after Bills running back Fred Jackson left the game with a knee injury. It appears Jackson's injury may have been less severe than the one sustained by Buffalo wide receiver David Nelson shortly thereafter.

"Fred doesn't look as bad as David," Bills coach Chan Gailey said, according to The Buffalo News. "We don't know how bad David is, but it doesn't look good right now."

Jackson's injury is believed to be a sprained LCL, but news was hard to come by regarding the status of Nelson's knee.

The Bills were off to a hot start in 2011 before injuries derailed their season, but it looks like things could come unraveled quickly if these injuries are serious. Buffalo sorely lacked threats in the passing game last year, and it could already be short two of its best weapons on offense. It doesn't help that wide receiver T.J. Graham was oddly inactive for this week's game.

Here is some more news and analysis from around the AFC East this morning.
