New York Giants rookie safety Chad Jones will be moved to a New York hospital after he was seriously injured in a car accident early Friday in New Orleans.
Jones is being transferred to Presbyterian Hospital on Tuesday for plastic surgery and additional orthopedic procedures. The two-sport star at LSU was drafted by the Giants in the third round this year.
Jones underwent nearly eight hours of surgery for a broken left leg and ankle following a dawn wreck in which his SUV smashed into a pole, an accident that has put his career in jeopardy.
Jones was part of LSU’s 2007 national championship team and was a left-handed relief pitcher for the Tigers squad that won the 2009 College World Series.
Police are still investigating the single-car accident.
