Al Jones isn’t thinking about whether his son Chad will ever play football again. He’s got bigger issues in mind.
“Nobody’s rushing anything,” Jones told the New Orleans-Times Picayune. “And we’re not worried about whether or not Chad can play right now. the life and health of my son is my concern, not his contract. I know he’s in good hands.”
The reality: No one knows yet what lies ahead in Jones’ recovery, even the new York specialists that now are taking care of him after a transfer from Louisiana. Dr. Russell Warren, the surgeon-in-chief at the Hospital for Special Surgery, says Jones will undergo additional neurological, vascular, plastic, and orthopedic surgery over the next several weeks. “Since he will undergo several additional procedures over the next few weeks, no prognosis has been given,” Warren said.Jones underwent surgery on Saturday and has another one planned for Tuesday, to replace skin on his leg. We wish the Jones family all the best on what must be an enormously difficult holiday weekend, away from home. “Nobody has said whether Chad will play again or not,” Al Jones said. “We’re not even asking that question right now.”
