Set Surgery for Gopher Gridder
University of Minnesota wide receiver Mike Jones had torn cartilage removed from his left knee and will miss at least the first month of the season. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound senior from Detroit caught 29 passes for 473 yards last season. Sophomore Jeff Anborn will replace Jones in the lineup as coach Cai Stoll notes Anborn has speed to catch but less experience.
