Julio Jones in Charlotte for Surgery

Former University of Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones will have surgery on Saturday in Charlotte, N.C. to repair a stress fracture in his foot. Jones will have a pin inserted to repair the fracture and recovery time should take six to eight weeks.

The fracture was discovered two days prior to Jones’ workout at the 2011 NFL Combine.

Jones ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash and recorded an 11-foot, 3-inch broad jump at the combine despite being injured.

Jones is considered a top 15-draft pick by many experts.
