While making a tackle at the start of the third quarter, Bills standout linebacker Terrel Bernard appeared to tweak his right foot on the turf and was on the ground in pain. 

It's unclear what the exact injury is, but the Bills announced that Bernard is being taken in for x-rays of his ankle and is out for the rest of the game.

Bernard eventually had to get carted and had a black cast around his right leg area. He had a towel over his head, indicating he's emotional with fears that the injury could be serious. Teammates surrounded him on the cart to show support.

Bernard has had a breakout season. A third-round pick out of Baylor in 2022, he's posted 143 total tackles, 6.5 sacks, three fumble recoveries, five passes defended and three interceptions in 17 games this season.
