Oklahoma WR Spencer Jones was involved in a bar fight over Valentine’s Day weekend.

In a video that surfaced of the incident, Jones was involved in a verbal altercation before the other person started punching him, eventually putting him in a chokehold.

Per OUDaily.com, Jones nearly lost his left eye in the incident, and recently had surgery to rebuild his left orbital socket:

“Dr. Brooks came out of that surgery saying he’s extraordinarily lucky at this point, that he’s lucky he didn’t lose the eye altogether,” Jones’ lawyer, Woody Glass, said. “And so he was able to do some things surgically to rebuild that orbital socket and thinks everything is eventually going to come back to normal, but it’s going to take a while for him to fully recover.”

Here’s a somewhat graphic video of the fight:

Hopefully he makes a full recovery soon.
