According to a report from the OU Daily, wide receiver and placeholder Spencer Jones is recovering from surgery.
Jones had surgery to repair an injury sustained during an altercation last week. He needed to have his left orbital bone rebuilt according to this report. While it has been noted that the surgery was a success, Jones will need some time to fully recover from his injuries. The doctor called the wide receiver lucky that he still has his eye per the OU Daily.
“Dr. Brooks came out of that surgery saying he’s extraordinarily lucky at this point, that he’s lucky he didn’t lose the eye altogether,” Glass said. “And so he was able to do some things surgically to rebuild that orbital socket and thinks everything is eventually going to come back to normal, but it’s going to take a while for him to fully recover.”
Jones appeared in all 11 games a season ago as the holder, he has yet to record an official statistic during his time in Norman. He transferred to Oklahoma from Liberty University.
