Kyron Jones progresses in recovery ahead of Georgia football camp

Summary

Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Kyron Jones continues to recover from a foot injury that sidelined him during spring practice. Head coach Kirby Smart reported that Jones has seen progress but is not yet ready for full practice sessions. He was limited during conditioning and is on a 'pitch count' to avoid further aggravation of the sensitive injury. Jones is competing for a starting position at safety, currently behind Rasean Dinkins on the depth chart. The Bulldogs will move cautiously with Jones as they prepare for the upcoming season.
