Datone Jones breaks foot

UCLA junior defensive end Datone Jones broke his right foot in practice today and we’ll be out for several weeks. UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel was forlorn as he addressed the media, clearly plagued by the loss of one of his defensive stars – Jones was a College Football News sophomore All-American honorable mention – and he could give no time-table on his return yet.

Jones had X-rays that confirmed the break, and Neuheisel surmised that Jones would be out until at least October. Neuheisel said Nate Chandler would likely move to defensive end with Justin Edison, Donovan Carter and David Carter manning the inside.
