Virginia running back Perris Jones has "regained movement in all of his extremities," the school announced early Friday morning.

Jones was taken off the field on a stretcher and taken to U of L Medical Center following a scary collision in Thursday night's game against No. 11 Louisville.

Jones took a massive hit as he moved up the field after catching a swing pass on a second-and-27 play in the final minute of the third quarter. The hit jarred the ball loose but it was scooped up by Malik Washington, who scampered into the end zone to give UVA a 20-14 lead.

But the celebration was short-lived as it was immediately clear Jones needed medical attention. The ESPN broadcast said trainers were immediately on the field to assist Jones, who was placed onto a backboard and taken off the field on a cart.

Players kneeled as Jones was attended to. When Jones was placed onto the cart, the entire Virginia team came to surround him.

The game eventually resumed, and Virginia kicked the extra point to go up 21-14. Louisville rallied to win 31-24.

In his postgame press conference, Virginia coach Tony Elliott said he was receiving "encouraging" news from the hospital about Jones' condition.

Virginia said Jones would remain in the hospital overnight.
