Washington Huskies wide receiver Ty Jones, who led the team with six touchdown receptions last season, likely will miss most of the season, the Seattle Times reported Saturday, citing two sources.
Jones missed almost all of spring ball with a right wrist injury and suffered a left thumb injury in fall camp. He told reporters early in camp that he was still working to recover from two surgeries on the wrist.
Jones caught 31 passes for 491 yards last season and was expected to be a key target, especially in the red zone, for new starting quarterback Jacob Eason, a transfer from Georgia. Jones (6-4, 213) is a junior with a redshirt year available.
Washington’s receiving corps includes Aaron Fuller (58 catches for 874 yards last season) and Andre Baccellia (55 for 584). The Huskies were ranked 13th in the preseason Associated Press poll.
