Virginia's Perris Jones Stretchered Off Field After Suffering Injury vs. Louisville

Virginia Cavaliers running back Perris Jones left the field on a stretcher after suffering an injury in the third quarter of the team's game against No. 11 Louisville on Thursday night.

Jones suffered the injury after a hard collision following a screen pass, as he was reportedly down on the field for "a long time," according to Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated. His teammates gathered around him while he was carted off the field.

Virginia later announced Jones had "regained movement in all of his extremities" and was being evaluated at U of L Medical Center overnight.

The sixth-year senior initially began as a walk-on and earned a scholarship after excelling on special teams.

Heading into Thursday, Jones had accumulated a team-leading 386 rushing yards on 73 carries in 2023. He also scored two touchdowns on the ground while adding another 84 yards as a receiver.
