Eventful Evening For Jones

Rookie wide receiver Zay Jones had an eventful night in the Bills’ Week 9 loss to the New York Jets.

Jones was having a breakout performance before it appeared he may have broken something else.

Having struggled with drops through the early part of the season, Jones caught six of seven passes thrown his way for 53 yards and a 12-yard touchdown in the first half. It was his first career touchdown and season-best totals for receptions and yards.

Jones came into the game having caught just 10 of his 37 targets for 115 yards through the first seven games.

Late in the first half, Jones seemed to sustain a serious knee injury after being tripped by Jets cornerback Buster Skrine.

Jones was down on the turf for several minutes and needed help from trainers to get to the sideline. Teammates kneeled while trainers tended to Jones. He was eventually able to walk gingerly to the locker room.

While many suspecting Jones had sustained a season-ending injury, he was able to return to the field for the second half.
