S Chad Jones, taken in the third round.

Chad Jones, New York Giants draft pick out of LSU, injured in New Orleans car crash - ESPN New York

Not clear how long it might take him to recover, but he had a leg injury requiring surgery.

As much as we may hate teams, stuff like this is always sad, and I wish Jones a speedy recovery.

Yes, bad news for any organization. I hope he recovers quickly.

They lost a WR to the field-turf and now this. Having a bad start for the season would be an understatement I guess

The article's description give me the impression it was a compound fracture, saying that "arteries and nerves were exposed". That's never a good sign. For get playing football, let's hope he can walk normally again.

Horrible to hear. It sucks that this guy had the greatest day of his life only a couple of months ago only to have this injury. I hope the injuries are not career threatening.

Sounds like they probably are, but, as Gwedd said, I'm just hoping that the guy can live a fairly normal life coming out of all of this. If he ever manages to play football, then that's a bonus.

Sad to hear

never nice news to hear that a player gets hurt and may not be able to play again

let's hope he makes a full recovery, so we can watch our wrs burn him as they go by
