Should UW wideout Ty Jones play against Oregon? And will Ariel Ngata settle at inside linebacker?

Ty Jones is healthy enough to play against Oregon.

So, what’s the complication?

To begin with, The Times reported on Aug. 31 that Jones — a 6-foot-4, 213-pound junior wide receiver — would likely miss the majority of the 2019 season with a dislocated lunate bone and torn ligaments in his right wrist. Indeed, the Provo, Utah, product has not appeared in Washington’s first seven games this season, though head coach Chris Petersen said he has been practicing fully for several weeks.

Petersen added on Monday that Jones’ preference is to redshirt, thus preserving an extra season of eligibility.
