Loading ...Late last week, Giants 101′s own Barshay Graves provided us with an informative update regarding New York Giants safety Chad Jones and his road to recovery. Having spoken to John Moran, Jones’ physical therapist, it was beginning to sound like recovery was going well for the former LSU star and that a return to football was not as impossible as many imagined it would be.
Naturally, skepticism met this report. After all, what are Jones and Moran supposed to say? That recovery is going slow and that his dream of playing in the NFL is no longer a realistic possibility? Obviously they are going to say all the right things and obviously fans are going to take that with a grain of salt. If we’ve learned anything over the years it’s that doctors, agents and physical therapists always say things are “great” and/or “ahead of schedule.”
With Jones however, they weren’t blowing smoke.
As we promised you last week, John Moran has sent us a video to share. It detailed the steps that have been taken in Jones’ recovery thus far, how close he is to returning and how much more he still has to do before he’s considered “100%.”
It’s unfortunate that the NFL Lockout is the one thing holding Jones back, but at some point or another the NFL will return, his insurance will be reinstated and he will receive that final surgery he needs.
From there, who knows. After such a devastating injury, the odds have certainly been stacked against him. But in speaking with his physical therapist, in watching this latest video and in hearing his determination, I honestly believe Jones will eventually grace an NFL field.
