Chad Jones Recovering From Terrible Car Accident That Almost Caused Him To Lose His Leg

Chad Jones was a third-round draft pick for the New York Giants in April last year, getting ready to fulfill his lifelong dream of playing in the NFL. Just one month later, Chad Jones almost lost his life after being involved in a catastrophic automobile accident.
Although Jones survived the terrible accident, there was a great deal of concern that he would lose his leg, and his football career seemed to be over. But Jones’ extensive leg injuries have slowly but eventually healed, and he is now exercising on a regular basis back home in New Orleans, with hopes that he will return to the NFL next year.
Jones’s 23rd birthday is Wednesday, and he is planning to celebrate his special day by openly showing everyone how far he has come in his recovery, running a 40-yard dash on the track at a high school in New Orleans. Although it is not likely to believe that Jones would be as quick as he was when he ran a 4.57-second 40 at Combine last year before his accident, but he does believe he is getting close to that point once again.
In the one-car accident last year, Chad Jones suffered multiple breaks to his left leg, including shattering both his fibula and tibia, and had nerves and arteries exposed after he crashed into a streetcar pole on North Carrollton Avenue heading towards Canal Street, according to an official who originally reported on his condition. He underwent surgery as a first step to recovery as surgeons attempted to get the blood flow back to his foot and originally commented on the loss of skin and large quantities of blood. The leg was not severed in the main artery and there weren’t any other serious or internal reported injuries from the accident.
