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.
