Will be surprised if Jok plays @Rutgers. Too soon for the back. Maybe NE at home. But if we beat Rutgers, there's a good argument to be made to Pete that he should rest to make sure.

As much problem as he had at Illinois after a 10 day lay off, I think its going to be AT LEAST a couple of weeks. I doubt he is ever going to be fully healthy at Iowa.

Sit him until the game before BTT, seriously.

^^ You may be right about this ^^

In Fran's media conference on Monday, he said Jok didn't practice on Sunday. That would indicate he's not playing on Tuesday. Backs don't magically heal in 3 days. Doubt we see him against Nebraska either.

Thanks for the update about him not practicing Sunday. Yes, that almost certainly means no to @RU.

In his statements about this situation, Fran has made it clear that it's up to Pete and the medical staff about him playing. Based on that, at some point soon, it's just going to be up to Pete. If we keep winning @RU, NE, @MN, I think Pete will stay on the bench. But if we start losing, he might try to come back- maybe too soon. @MSU he'll probably have to not be walking to keep him off the floor.

Agree. The last couple of games Jok wasn't in condition to help the team. If you can't play due to injury, you can't play.

I hope he didn't even fly out to Rutgers. If you have ever had a bad back ... flying isn't THEE worst thing you can do, but it is on the short list

He is out per Fran, Rothstein tweeted it just now.

Illinois was a 6 day layoff, not 10, but I think you are right that we are probably looking at weeks.
