Virginia announced running back Perris Jones underwent successful spinal surgery after leaving Thursday night’s game at Louisville on a stretcher. The Cavaliers say Jones walked briefly Friday but will remain in Louisville for observation.
Jones suffered the injury in a collision with Louisville defensive back Cam’Ron Kelly in the third quarter Thursday, and he subsequently laid motionless near the Louisville sideline. Trainers from both teams rushed to his aid, and Jones was stretchered off the field to University Hospital in Louisville.
