Rylan Jones update

Jones has a shin bruise. Nothing wrong with knee or ankle. Seen walking normally on Tuesday, but wearing a splint on his left leg.

His status for tonight vs Stanford is undecided.

Info from the Deseret News. Details here:

It probably depends on how deep the bruise is. If he bruised the tibia and muscles in that impact area bad enough, he won’t be running until Colorado. Walking can be tolerated…sort of. Running, fast cuts and stops…only with some serious painkillers - something stronger than grunt candy (ibuprofen).

I won’t be betting on him playing during this swing. Unfortunately we got no one who can step up and fill the hole.

It’s just been one of those seasons.

Glad it wasn’t the knee.

Bill Riley just tweeted Jones will play tonight and is a “full go”.
