Ex-New Orleans Saints player Jeff Charleston recovering from serious injuries after motorcycle crash in New Orleans

Jeff Charleston — who helped the New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl in 2010 — was critically injured when his motorcycle collided with another car on Interstate 10 last week, and he is recovering from several surgeries that he subsequently underwent, according to a statement issued Tuesday.
The statement contained few details about the crash but said that it occurred on Dec. 22 near I-10’s Carrollton Avenue overpass. Charleston was thrown off his motorcycle, fracturing his pelvis and suffering “other life-threatening injuries,” said the statement, prepared by media relations consultants Karen Carvin.
The statement said Charleston, 36, has since had several surgeries performed on him, and more are expected. But, in a relatively encouraging development, medical staff by Tuesday had moved Charleston out of the intensive care unit after he had spent a week there.
“He has a long road to recovery ahead but remains optimistic about the future and is determined to get back on his feet as soon as possible,” said the statement, which was issued on behalf of the Sternberg, Naccari, & White law firm, which is representing Charleston. “Jeff sends his thanks to the many people who have sent their well wishes and prayers. He and his family respectfully ask for privacy as he continues on his path to recovery.”
The driver with whom Charleston collided was apparently given a traffic citation by police following the wreck, Carvin said. The accident remains under investigation.
A defensive end who played collegiately at Idaho State, Charleston appeared in 52 regular-season games for the Saints between 2008 and 2011.
He contributed 10 regular-season tackles when the team won Super Bowl XLIV against the Indianapolis Colts, for whom he played in 2007. He was also one of the blockers for Garrett Hartley's game-winning kick in that season's dramatic NFC title game at home against Minnesota, which secured the Saints their berth to the Super Bowl.

not to seem callous but why should we care about any average not so well known ex player?
i hope he gets well soon but just because he used to play for the saints along with 53 other guys doesnt make me care

Prayers sent. Jeff seemed to be a good dude with some issues. Too bad he married a money seeking whore. As soon as his money was gone so was she.
