When Jarron Jones went down during fall camp, it looked like the senior nose guard’s season was over. But during his Tuesday press conference, head coach Brian Kelly revealed that Jones’ rehabilitation has him on track to potentially play during the postseason. That’d be a huge lift to an Irish defensive front that was supposed to be built around Jones and fellow senior Sheldon Day.
Kelly estimated that Jones was four to six weeks away from playing football, putting him on schedule to be available to practice with the Irish as they prepare for postseason play—whether that be a playoff game or bowl appearance.
