The Glasgow Warriors player picked up the injury during Scotland's 22-13 defeat by Ireland last Saturday and scan results indicate the recovery time would be likely to extend beyond the end of the current championship.

Jones has returned to his club for treatment faces a race to be fit for their Champions Cup quarter-final clash against Saracens on March 30.

The news follows Stuart Hogg's injury setback. Hogg damaged his shoulder ligaments in the first half of the Ireland match.
