Is he somehow injured again or is he attending a graduation? Just seems out of the ordinary.

Apparently hurt his back. His crew's first game in the New York series was three-man because he couldn't do it.

Jerry is done for the year. He had successful surgery for 2 bulging disks. He is expected back on the field in 2020 per Bob Davidson.
