East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbooks) - The New York Giants have waived rookie safety Chad Jones with the intention of placing him on the reserve list. Jones was recently released from a New York hospital after a serious car accident on June 29. If he clears waivers, he will be placed on the reserve list. Jones was involved in the accident June 25 in New Orleans and suffered broken bones in his left leg and ankle, requiring eight hours of surgery at LSU Public Hospital to improve the blood flow in his left foot. He was later transferred to a hospital in New York. To replace him on the roster, the Giants were awarded linebacker Alex Hall off waivers from Philadelphia. The Eagles waived Hall on Wednesday after acquiring him from Cleveland in a trade earlier this offseason. |
