The New York Giants have placed safety Chad Jones on waivers Monday after failing his physical. Jones was a 2010 third-round pick who has spent the last two seasons on the non-football injury list following a single-car accident on June 25, 2010, that left the former LSU standout with multiple fractures and nerve damage in his lower left leg. "Chad had a severe injury to his left leg, involving a complex tibial fracture with associated injury to muscle, nerves and vascular structures," Dr. Scott Rodeo, a Giants associate team physician, said in a statement released by the team. "This type of injury is often limb threatening, and can sometimes require amputation. He has made a remarkable recovery to date, with successful salvage of the leg. "However, at this time he has residual sensory loss, muscle weakness and tenuous soft tissue coverage in the involved lower leg. The resultant functional impairment precludes his ability to perform physically at the level required for professional football." Source: NFL.com
no one can blame the giants, they did their best to wait on him in my honest opinion. the nfl is a business after all. i assume he goes to baseball from here.
