The Lions were missing Steve Morison, Kevin Lisbie, Neil Harris and Theo Robinson against Norwich on Tuesday night.
Jackett was even forced to send defender Danny Shittu into attack in the second half alongside teenager John Marquis, who hit the late equaliser.
"I didn't have the options I wanted. Danny was me trying something different but it didn't happen for us," said Jackett. "I'll try in the loan market again before the weekend. We need a senior forward."
