Seahawks RB Julius Jones has bleeding in his lung stemming from a broken rib and was kept at an Arizona hospital overnight.
“He’s OK,” Mora said, after speaking to Jones while Seattle’s lead runner was at the airport in Phoenix. "They just took the proper precautions in not having him travel with that injury.
“At this point, I would say it would be unlikely that he would be cleared to play on Sunday.”
Seahawk's RB Julius Jones left the game against the Cardinals' early with an apparant rib injury. The Seattle Times' Danny O'Neil reported that Julius Jones has suffered a broken rib and would be kept overnight in an Arizona hopsital for observation. Then at 7 p.m. PT, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the situation is even more serious:
