Following the incident, Jones sought aid from OU’s athletic trainers as he suffered major injuries. Woodrow “Woody” Glass of Ward and Glass, L.L.P., in Norman has been retained by Jones’ family as legal representation who revealed more on the incident.

Glass revealed that the Oklahoma star was held from surgery until the swelling around his eye receded. Dr Perry Brooks, a specialist in facial reconstruction, performed a four-hour outpatient operation on Tuesday, February 16 in which he rebuilt Jones’ left orbital socket. The report states that Jones was extremely lucky to not lose the eye altogether. While the surgery was successful, it is going to take a while for the wide receiver to fully recover.
