Virginia running back Perris Jones was moving all of his extremities after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit late in the third quarter against Louisville on Thursday night.

Jones was taken to the University of Louisville hospital after the hit, and school officials said he had regained movement in all of his extremities sometime after arriving there.

Coach Tony Elliott said in an earlier postgame news conference that he was getting "encouraging" news from the hospital regarding Jones' condition. He added that Jones was getting an MRI at the hospital but didn't offer any specifics beyond that.
