X-rays come out negative Jones' x-rays due to the undisclosed injury he sustained against UTEP on Saturday "came back negative," head coach Jeff Choate told NevadaSportsNet.com.

Impact Choate didn't want to speculate on the extent of the injury, so further tests are needed to determine whether Jones will miss time. The signal-caller completed 11 of 19 passes for 82 yards and a touchdown against UTEP. If he has to miss time, look for Luke Duncan to see more time under center, beginning with the Week 7 matchup against North Dakota State on Saturday, Oct. 17.

This season, he has 42 completions for 572 yards and two touchdowns, though his turnover rate can use some cleaning up going into the remainder of conference play.

Will start Week 1 Jones will be Nevada's starting quarterback Sept. 5 against Western Kentucky, Nevada Sports Net reports.

Impact In the fall, Jones was in the midst of a quarterback competition that began all the way back in the spring. In the end, Nevada's program stuck to what it knows by selecting its second-year QB from last season. 2025 saw Jones complete 110 passes for 1,019 yards and six touchdowns, so he has relatively good experience under center. The issue with Jones was his turnover rate; along with the six touchdowns, he also logged eight interceptions and did not compensate for his concessions by any other means. Ideally for Jones and Nevada, he has cleaned up in that regard, and that was somewhat shown in his last three games, where his TD-INT ratio was 3-0 across 61 pass attempts.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy for fall camp battle Jones (elbow) is participating in Nevada's fall camp and is still battling for the starting quarterback job, per Chris Murray of Nevada Sports Net.

Impact Jones is practicing with Nevada's offense and is ready to try and earn the starting job after competing in the spring despite a lingering elbow injury. Last season as a true freshman, he made seven starts, tossing for 1,019 yards along with six touchdowns and eight interceptions. It was a learning year for the young quarterback as he continues to develop within the offensive system. Head coach Jeff Choate mentioned that he will not wait until the end of fall camp to announce who will be under center for the season opener against Western Kentucky on Sept. 5, so Jones must make a lasting impression early in camp to win the job.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

In QB battle despite injury Jones (elbow) is in a three-way battle for the starting quarterback spot, Jim Krajewski of the Reno Gazette Journal reports.

Impact Jones, who appeared in nine games last season, is battling for the starting spot alongside AJ Bianco and Luke Duncan. Jones suffered a strained UCL in practice recently though, and that injury is set to push the battle into the summer or fall. It's far too early to tell who has the best chance to start, especially with Jones' injury.
