I wouldn't be surprised if they put Jordan on a plane so that he could make one or two games at Lubbock. He's not going to pitch in all three, so it's kind of a waste to send him up there for the entire series.
You are only allowed to practice 20 hr per week. He was using up his hours at football and could not make the game or he would have gone over. Sunday is a new week so he is good to go.
