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.

But do you guys think he might look more towards baseball when he recovers? I'd assume that getting your legs back in shape after this will be easier for baseball than as a football d-back, I could be completely wrong though. His legs will be considerably atrophied by the time he gets to start physical therapy, so baseball might look like the more viable option.
