Virginia Running Back Perris Jones Transferred to Rehab Facility Following Spinal Surgery

Jones, the Cavaliers' leading rusher this season, is expected to stay at the facility for several weeks as he continues his recovery.

Virginia running back Perris Jones has been transferred from a hospital to the Frazier Rehabilitation Institute in Louisville to continue his recovery from spinal surgery.
Jones was injured during a game against Louisville on November 9, requiring surgery and several days in the intensive care unit at the University of Louisville Medical Center.
Jones, who is Virginia's leading rusher this season with 393 yards, was able to briefly walk after the surgery.
Virginia coach Tony Elliott spoke with Jones via Zoom, noting that Jones was smiling and focused on his team.
Jones' roommate is Virginia running back Mike Hollins, who survived a shooting that killed three Cavaliers players last year.
