USC freshman quarterback Jaxson Dart returned to practice Tuesday, warming up and throwing passes in full pads and a helmet.
“Still week to week, still got to get doctor clearance,” saidA bulky brace on the freshman’s right knee still remained as a reminder of the injury he suffered in his unexpected debut last month at. But the fact that he was able to return to practice this quickly suggests he could be healthy and ready in the coming weeks — maybe even as soon as the Trojans’ trip to Notre Dame following the bye.
“It could be tomorrow. It could be next week, or it could be two, three weeks from now,” Williams said of the timeline for Dart’s return. “He’s an athletic guy with a big strong arm, so there’s a lot of things that have to be cleared for him to be able to come and play full speed.”Dart was nowhere near full speed on Tuesday. In spite of being fully dressed, the freshman threw only a handful of passes, none of which involved dropping back or testing his knee in any way.
The injury was initially expected to keep him out for an extended period. But Dart told coaches upon receiving his prognosis that he was determined to return earlier than doctors predicted.We’re checking the temperature of the USC football coaching search. Penn State’s James Franklin is considered a top candidate. Urban Meyer still isn’t.
“I think that’s just kind of the mentality he’s taken into the whole process,” offensive coordinator Graham Harrell said. “So to see him back this quickly, out there getting some throws is encouraging, and it’s a testament to him and his work ethic and how he’s attacked the situation.”that he would have had two weeks earlier, when he put together one of the most electric debuts in USC football history.
