Brewers' 50th Round Draft Pick in Critical Condition

NEW ORLEANS -- Chad Jones, a two-sport star at LSU who was drafted by the New York Giants/Milwaukee Brewers, underwent surgery Friday for a broken left leg and ankle following a single-car, early morning wreck in which his SUV smashed into a pole.

Jones was admitted to the LSU Public Hospital in New Orleans in critical condition. His agent, Rocky Arceneaux, disclosed the injuries to The Associated Press. He added that the 21-year-old player was alert when taken to the hospital and was still in surgery in the early afternoon.

New Orleans' WWL-TV reported Jones suffered "a fractured left leg and had arteries and nerves exposed," and that doctors were trying to restore blood flow into Jones' foot.

Yes, I know

that he signed with the Giants and not the Brewers.

Reports are now saying that they were able to save his foot

8 hours of surgery. My guess is the Giants won’t be seeing him this season.
