For the first time since his devastating car accident more than a month ago, Giants safety Chad Jones is headed home.

The Giants announced that Jones is getting out of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, where he’s been since being transferred there on June 29th from a Louisiana facility. He’s reported to be in “great spirits” as he heads back to his home in New Orleans to recuperate.

Jones will return to New York in 6-8 weeks for more surgery on his leg. In the meantime, we wish him and his family all the best during this next important step in Jones’ recovery.
