"Donald Jones' left ankle injury is more serious than originally thought, making it unlikely the Buffalo Bills' receiver will play again this season.

Bills coach Chan Gailey said "it's more long term than short term" when describing the injury Monday, leaving Jones only an "outside chance" of playing again this season. Gailey put the timetable for Jones' absence at three to six weeks after the Bills' 35-8 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, but with just six weeks left, there's a good chance the Bills will eventually need Jones' roster spot to add depth to another position that's been depleted by injury.

There have been plenty of those. Through Week 10, the Bills have lost 68 man-games because of injury. Six players who started the season on the 53-man roster have been placed on injured reserve, a number that will go to seven when cornerback Terrence McGee joins the list. McGee had surgery Monday to repair a torn patella tendon in his knee, a source told The News."
