Arizona begins spring football practice on Wednesday, but two key players will be out of action because of injury.
Wide receiver Jamarye Joiner and defensive lineman Kyon Barrs will both miss spring practice after each undergoing foot surgeries on Tuesday, coach Jedd Fisch confirmed. Both are expected to be ready for preseason training camp.
This is the third foot surgery for Joiner, who will be a 5th-year junior who played most of his redshirt freshman season in 2019 with a Jones fracture before having surgery in spring 2020. He re-injured the foot during the 2021 spring game, causing him to miss most of training camp and not make his season debut until late September, and only ended up starting one game while splitting time at receiver and quarterback, the position he was recruited to play out of high school.
