Waymond Jordan Injury: Participating in padded practice

Jordan (ankle) was in pads and participated in Tuesday's practice, Chris Trevino of 247Sports.com reports.

Jordan is tending to an ankle injury, and while Tuesday's practice isn't his first wearing pads since sustaining the injury, Trevino notes the tailback was walking significantly better. With the Trojans pushing for a spot in the College Football Playoff, Jordan could provide a boost to the USC backfield Saturday, even if he's in a limited role.
