 Jones has missed much of the last two seasons with injuries |
Wales and Llanelli Scarlets flanker Dafydd Jones says he should be back in action in six-to-eight weeks. The blind-side, 27, was ruled out of Wales' summer tour with a shoulder injury, reconstructive surgery expected to keep him out until the new year.
But, having missed most of the last two seasons with injuries, the 29-cap man could challenge for the autumn Tests.
"The surgery went well and I am way ahead of schedule," Jones told the South Wales Evening Post.
"The sling is off and it is a case of building the shoulder back up and working hard to get the muscle mass back.
"I have been determined to stay positive. Pre-season has gone well at Stradey and everyone is enthusiastic about the new season.
"As far as a comeback is concerned I have got a date in mind, but what the specialist has told me is that it could be six-to-eight weeks before I am back playing again."
The Llanarth man suffered groin, hand and ankle trouble before his shoulder problems.
