According to Kimberly Jones of NFL.com, Jones is "done for the day." In his first attempt, the former Ohio State quarterback ran an unofficial time of 4.83 seconds which, given his 6-foot-5, 250-pound frame, isn't bad at all. 

After seeing limited time on the field in his junior year with the Buckeyes, Cardale probably wanted to make the most of the Combine. Even though Jones won't be able to participate in the Combine, he will be able to win over NFL teams at Ohio State's Pro Day on March 11 and any private workouts. That is, as long as the injury isn't serious.

Oh, and while we're discussing the Combine, let's just leave this right here. 

Cardale Jones injury is another reason why the top prospects should simply say after their last college game, "See you at the draft."
