ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson will miss the remainder of the season with a sprained ligament in his right knee. Coach Chan Gailey provided the update on Monday saying Jackson is expected to miss between three and five weeks. And that wont be enough time to recover considering the Bills (5-8) have only three games left and have all but mathematically been eliminated from playoff contention. "No, hes not going to make it," Gailey said, a day after Jackson was hurt in the fourth quarter of a 15-12 loss to St. Louis. Jackson wont require surgery after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain to his MCL. Though the plans havent been finalized, Gailey said its likely the player will be placed on the season-ending injured reserve list. His injury leaves Buffalo with just two running backs, C.J. Spiller and Tashard Choice. Gailey said hes not sure whether to add a running back because fullback Corey McIntyre could fill the third spot if necessary. The Bills are preparing to "host" Seattle (8-5) at Toronto on Sunday. Jackson was hurt with about 5:30 left, when two Rams defenders sandwiched his right leg in making a tackle during a 2-yard run. Jackson lay on the field for several minutes and was unable to put much weight on his right leg while being helped off to the sideline. With a towel draped over his head, Jackson was then carted off to the locker room as fans chanted "Freddie! Freddie!" The injury is the latest setback for Jackson this year, and is to the same knee he sprained in a season-opening 48-28 loss at the New York Jets. Jackson missed the next two games. He also missed a 19-14 win over Miami on Nov. 15 after sustaining a concussion a week earlier. Jackson, whos led the team in rushing in each of the previous three years, has 437 yards rushing this season -- his fewest in five seasons. He has scored three touchdowns rushing, and also has 217 yards receiving and a touchdown. Jackson, who signed a two-year, $9 million contract extension in May, still led the Bills with 934 yards rushing last year despite missing the final six games with a broken bone in his right leg. The Bills have a capable player to lean on in co-starter Spiller, who has 944 yards rushing and five touchdowns. The 2010 first-round draft pick is averaging 6.55 yards per carry, which is the NFLs second-best total through 13 games since 1960 for a player with a minimum of 130 attempts. Jim Brown averaged 6.61 yards per carry for the Cleveland Browns in 1963. Cheap Jerseys .

NEW YORK -- Catcher Kelly Shoppach was acquired Tuesday by the New York Mets from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named following a waiver claim. The 32-year-old Shoppach is hitting .250 with five homers, 12 doubles and 17 RBIs in 48 games this year. He was signed by Boston as a free agent last December after spending the previous two season with Tampa Bay. The Mets wanted the right-handed batter for his power against left-handed pitchers, manager Terry Collins said. According to baseball-reference.com, Shoppach has just 492 at-bats against left-handed pitchers in his career, but he has hit 31 home runs. He has 33 homers in 936 career at-bats against righties. "Hes going to catch against left-handers," Collins said. "One of the reasons we got him is the damage he can do against left-handers." Josh Thole, hitting .260 with one home run and 18 RBIs, was benched twice during the weekend series against Atlanta in favour of Rob Johnson. Even though Shoppach and Johnson both bat right-handed, the Mets are pondering a possible platoon situation next year, Collins said. "Well take a look at him the last six weeks and see how he fits," the manager said. "This guy will add power to the lineup, which will help." Booston manager Bobby Valentine said simply, "Kelly was claimed by the Mets.dddddddddddd He was having a nice season for us and now he will finish with the Mets." Ryan Lavarnway started at catcher for the Red Sox on Tuesday night against the Orioles. "Kelly was a great teammate," Lavarnway said. "I tried to learn from him what I could while he was here. Now its time for me to step up and take the reins. Coming to the park expecting to play on a regular basis will be nice." In another move, the Red Sox activated right-hander reliever Andrew Bailey from the 60-day disabled list. Bailey has been sidelined the entire season after undergoing surgery on his right thumb. Valentine said Bailey, a closer with Oakland in each of the three previous seasons, would initially be used late in games but not necessarily in the ninth inning. Boston began play Tuesday in fourth place in the AL East with a 57-59 record and 11 1/2 games behind the division-leading Yankees. "Im glad to be here and cant wait to get out there," Bailey said. "I have no expectations whatsoever. Were at a point and time where we have to start winning ballgames. Everyone knows that. Whenever he calls upon me Ill go out there and pitch." ' ' '
