Buffalo Bills running back Taiwan Jones suffered a scary injury on Sunday afternoon during a loss to the Chargers.

Jones was recovering a muffed Chargers punt that bounced into the end zone. In the process he lost his helmet, and then took a nasty shot to his un-helmeted dome. You don’t have to be a doctor to know that a hit like that hurts.

It’s probably going to scar too. Jones revealed the giant gash on his head in the locker room after practice on Wednesday. It’s not pretty.

Jones said he never lost consciousness and was more worried about his neck since he had whiplash upon the hit. But as he lay on the turf he realized his neck was ok and was relieved for that and that he didn’t lose any teeth. — Sal Capaccio (@SalSports) September 19, 2018

Yes, you read that correctly. He did not suffer a concussion on the hit (which seems weird). And he could be on the field against this week when the Bills are in Minnesota to play the Vikings.

Here’s another look at the hit itself.

It wasn’t a soft blow, as you can see, and Jones was seen bleeding from his head as a result. Trainers came out to the end zone to help him up and off the field. The hit came from Chargers linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, who later apologized for the hit.

The play was ruled a touchback, and Nwosu, a rookie, received an unnecessary roughness penalty for the hit. Jones was taken to the locker room to be evaluated.

Bills coach Sean McDermott said on Sunday that Jones did not have a concussion, but he added that the whistle should’ve blown much earlier:

McDermott: McCoy is day to day with cracked rib cartilage. Taiwan Jones didn’t suffer concussion. Just bruised and cut up. #Bills — Chris Brown (@ChrisBrownBills) September 17, 2018

The play came after the Bills scored their first touchdown of the year thanks to Chris Ivory. They lost, 31-20.

Jones is in his second season with the Bills, after spending the first six years of his career with the Oakland Raiders.
