NFL commissioner Roger Goodell called Giants rookie safety Chad Jones to see how the player is recovering following intensive surgery on his left leg after Friday's car accident.

Chad Jones Recovering; Injury 'Could Have Been A Lot Worse'

Sep 13, 2014 5:58 PM

Giants rookie safety Chad Jones is recovering from multiple injures to his left leg suffered in a car accident on Friday. "The doctors were worried that he might lose his left foot," agent Rocky Arceneaux said Saturday. "He may have to have more surgery at some point, but I would like to think that since the doctors told his father (Al Jones) that the surgery was successful that they will not have to consider doing that again. But I don't think they've clarified if that's still a possibility or not." Jones still faces a long recovery if he's going to ever play football again.

Giants' Jones Has Surgery After Crash

Nov 15, 2014 6:11 PM

New York Giants rookie safety Chad Jones underwent more than seven hours of surgery Friday in New Orleans to repair a broken left leg and ankle that he sustained when his sport-utility vehicle smashed into a pole, NFL.com's Steve Wyche reported. Jones appeared to have nerve damage in his leg, but doctors' initial diagnosis is that amputation -- a concern throughout the day after the morning accident -- won't be needed, the player's agent, Rocky Arceneaux, told Wyche. "I don't see that based on the type of athlete that Chad is that anything would prevent Chad from walking. And from running, " Arceneaux told the Times-Picayune on Friday. Jones definitely won't play this coming season, but it's too early to say if his injuries are career-threatening, Arceneaux told Wyche.

Giants Lose Hixon For Season With Turf Injury

Oct 23, 2014 2:25 AM

Giants wide receiver Domenik Hixon will miss the entire 2010 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The team initially believed Hixon hyperextended the knee when his foot caught in the new FieldTurf during New York's first practice in the New Meadowlands Stadium on Tuesday. Giants coach Tom Coughlin tried to deflect criticism of the new field. "Listen, you got to go over there and go on it before you can make some judgments about it," Coughlin said. "We will be better served now because of the shoes that we recommend. I said he got his foot stuck in there. You can see on tape he is turning a little bit and he does have a little hyperextended kind of thing. We are aware of it [the softness of the turf] and we are continuing to work with it and are asking the turf people to take another look at the field and some of the thoughts we had about shoes and stuff."

Umenyiora Still Rejects Backup Role

Aug 17, 2014 6:29 PM

Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora has made it clear that he doesn't see any reason why he won't win back his starting job. He added that playing on the second team isn't acceptable. "I'm with the twos," he said after the first practice of New York's mandatory mini-camp. "If I really decide to start thinking about that, it's not going to be good for this team at all. ...I must maintain a positive outlook no matter what happens, because I truly believe this year the best players must play, because we need to win." Currently, Justin Tuck is starting on the left and Mathias Kiwanuka on the right. "Would I be cool [with a rotation]? If I was truly not the best player, then I'd be cool with it," Umenyiora said. "The minute in my mind I'm playing the way I'm capable of playing and I'm not on the field, then of course it's going to be a problem. But I don't think that's going to happen."
