Jones and Meldrum Sidelined by Injury

Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone announced tonight that senior nose tackle Arthur Jones and junior offensive tackle Jonathan Meldrum will miss the final three games of the 2009 season due to injury. Both Jones and Meldrum reported experiencing discomfort in their left knee during the game at Pittsburgh (Nov. 7, 2009) and MRIs performed today revealed each student-athlete had a torn lateral meniscus. Surgery, which will be performed in the near future, and rehabilitation will sideline Jones and Meldrum for the rest of season.
