Jordan to miss rest of spring with foot injury

ATLANTA — Georgia Tech quarterback Matthew Jordan will miss the remainder of spring football practice because of a foot injury.

Jordan is the team’s most experienced QB and among four players contending to replace departed starter Justin Thomas.

Jordan missed the final six practices of the spring and the annual spring game at Bobby Dodd Stadium on April 21.

The junior sustained a non-contact injury during a scrimmage Saturday. Coach Paul Johnson calls the situation “unfortunate” but says “we’re looking forward to getting him back and competing for the starting position as soon as possible.”

Junior TaQuon Marshall and redshirt freshmen Lucas Johnson and Jay Jones will share most of the snaps for the remainder of spring practice, bolstering their chances heading into fall camp.

Anthony J o s h u a ’ s heavyweight title defense against longtime c hampion Wladimir Klitschko will be broadcast on both Showtime and HBO in the United States this weekend.

The two premium cable networks worked out an unusual agreement to televise the April 29 fight from London, with Showtime airing the fight live and HBO doing it later in the evening on a delayed broadcast.

Both networks will use their own announcers for the bout.

Joshua, the British 2012 Olympic gold medalist, has fought exclusively for Showtime, while Klitschko has long had a deal with HBO for his fights.

The fight, which is expected to draw 90,000 to Wembley Stadium, feat ures an undefeated champion in the big-hitting Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) against Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs).
