Jackson hurt his left hand on Buffalo’s second play from scrimmage, and HC Chan Gailey said his team’s leading rusher last season will miss the rest of the exhibition games. “We hope to get him back” for the start of the regular season, Gailey said. Six plays later, Lynch injured his ankle. “Don’t know the extent of it,” Gailey said, “but we’re hoping it’s a lot more short-term than it is long-term.” Without the team’s top two runners, first-round draft pick C.J. Spiller gained 16 yards on four carries against Washington, a week after arriving at training camp to sign a contract. Looks like he'll get ample opportunity to catch up now.
