The Sale Sharks lock clutched his shoulder in agony after a nasty collision with Billy Vunipola.
He was hauled off and replaced by Franco Mostert after just 21 minutes of the brutal clash, which South Africa won 32-12.
His team-mates patted him on the back before he hobbled off down the tunnel at the International Stadium Yokohama.
South Africa were forced to continue without de Jager and Mbonbambi - who was replaced by Malcom Marx.
The medics at the stadium were working overtime in the first-half as injury struck for both sides.
England suffered a blow when Kyle Sinckler was forced off after being KO'd just seconds into the final.

Play was stopped as medics tended to the 26-year-old - who grew up wanting to be a dinosaur - before he managed to walk off the pitch.
He was replaced by veteran prop Dan Cole.
