Buffalo Bills cornerback Dane Jackson has been released from the hospital after an alarming-looking injury as the Bills continued their strong start to the season with a dominant 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Jackson suffered the neck injury late in the first half of the Bills’ home opener at Highmark Stadium on Monday night. Jackson was lying on the ground with his head up as he tackled the Titans’ Treylon Burks when the 25-year-old’s teammate, Tremaine Edmunds, barrelled in, head first, and missed his intended target. The 6ft 5in, 250lbs linebacker’s helmet slammed into Jackson’s and sharply jerked back his head.
