This is the second serious automobile accident involving an NFL player in Louisiana. Last summer, Giants player Chad Jones suffered a severe leg injury in a one-vehicle accident in New Orleans. Doctors almost had to amputate his left leg, but Jones is currently rehabbing his leg and plans to play again in 2012.
