Syracuse football announced some bad news on Monday regarding one of its contributing wide receivers. Isaiah Jones, who caught a touchdown pass against Purdue, is likely out for the rest of the season due to an injury suffered against Boilers according to head coach Dino Babers

"Isaiah's probably done for the year," Babers said during his weekly press conference Monday.

Jones appeared to suffered the injury in the Orange's game winning drive on Saturday. After he drew a defensive pass interference penalty, he came up holding his right arm and appeared to be in significant pain. He did not return to the game.

On the positive injury front, Babers said during Monday's press conference that slot receiver and return man Trebor Pena should be back "soon" after missing Saturday's win over Purdue.

Jones is listed at 6-4, 204 pounds. He came to Syracuse as a junior college transfer from El Camino College. Jones impressed during spring ball and in training camp to earn a spot as an offensive contributor in the wide receiver rotation. He would have had two more years of eligibility after 2022 without an injury. However, now he has the option to request a medical redshirt in order to earn a third year of eligibility.

EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market.
