New York Giants rookie safety Chad Jones is heading home to New Orleans after a nearly monthlong stay in the hospital after an awful car accident.
The Giants say the third-round draft pick from LSU was scheduled to be released from the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan on Tuesday morning to return to home.
Jones was transferred to the hospital after suffering serious injuries to his left leg and ankle in an early morning car accident in New Orleans.
Jones has undergone several surgeries both in New Orleans and New York since the accident. He plans to rest and recuperate in New Orleans before returning to New York in several weeks and undergoing further surgery.
