Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones is nursing a bruised knee as the Crimson Tide prepares for their showdown at South Carolina on Saturday.

Jones, who has 24 catches for 322 yards and two scores on the season, was at practice on Monday and is “day to day at least for the first part of the week,” according to head coach Nick Saban.

Alabama’s leading receiver hurt the knee in the Tide’s rout of Florida this past Saturday. This is the second year in a row Jones has dealt with knee trouble. He missed one game in ‘09 with a bruise to the same knee and was limited for the first half of the season.

Linebacker Chris Jordan, who pulled a hamstring against the Gators, is day to day as well.
