Milano suffered a knee injury in a pile-up and Jones a pectoral.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson briefly left the field with a knee injury the second half and Von Miller \u2013 who played his first game since tearing his ACL in November &#8211; saw his afternoon end early too as a precaution.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think that turf is terrible,\u2019 he said. \u2018My foot got stuck in the ground. But I&#8217;m OK, thank God.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Take that turf out. Especially that one. I&#8217;d rather play on grass. I&#8217;m sure 90-100 per cent of players would rather play on grass. So I&#8217;m not sure why we&#8217;re playing on stuff like that. There was injuries on the field today. Some of them really, really bad. I just feel like the turf has something to do with it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/21\/76312773-12608417-image-m-4_1696798444841.jpg\" height=\"354\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Bills CB Taron Jones blamed the turf at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for several injuries<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/21\/76312461-12608417-image-a-1_1696797974202.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Johnson himself suffered a knee injury during the game but went on to confirm he would be ok<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/22\/76312561-12608417-Star_LB_Matt_Milano_suffered_a_serious_leg_injury_that_may_poten-a-1_1696799648776.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Star LB Matt Milano suffered a serious leg injury that may potentially end his 2023 season<\/p>\n<p>Offensive tackle Dion Dawson added: &#8216;London is doing London things. Hey, they rolled their thing out, that they play on. It was different.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Overall I thought the stadium &#8211; beautiful. I don&#8217;t like turf. Nobody really does, but that&#8217;s also not an excuse. The stadium overall &#8211; beautiful from top to bottom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You could blame it on so many things, but when it comes down to it the NFL is 100 per cent injury rate. So it being 100 per cent injury rate, it could happen in London, it could happen in a home game. It sucks that it&#8217;s taken a couple of our guys today.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Not looking good,\u2019 added head coach Sean McDermott on Milano.<\/p>\n<p>Milano suffered a fractured leg and it is also feared that his season may be over due to a season-ending knee injury as well. He is set to undergo an MRI order to determine if there is damage to his ACL and MCL.<\/p>\n<p>It is the second game in a row that the Bills have been hit by demoralizing defensive injuries. Cornerback Tre&#8217;Davious White again out for the season after tearing his right Achilles.<\/p>\n<p>The Jaguars also lost players to injury, with Zay Jones aggravating a knee injury and offensive lineman Walker Little having a knee injury also.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I don&#8217;t know Zay specifically yet,\u2019 said head coach Doug Pederson. \u2018I think it&#8217;s still the same injury he had from a couple weeks ago, so we&#8217;ll see where he&#8217;s at.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Walker Little, I believe just a knee at this point, but I don&#8217;t have any further updates until probably we get back to the States and do some more investigation there.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/22\/76313377-12608417-image-a-13_1696799518395.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Defensive tackle DaQuan Jones also suffered a pectoral injury during the game in London<\/p>\n<p>The $1.22billion multi-purpose stadium was opened in 2019.
