The Rutgers defensive tackle, who remains paralyzed from the neck down, is leaving the Kessler Institute in West Orange, N.J., to live with his aunt in Jackson, N.J.
“This is an exciting day for me to return to living with family,†LeGrand said in a statement issued through Rutgers. “My family and I can’t thank Kessler enough for all of the tremendous care and support I received as I continue rehab from my injury. It has meant so much to me to receive so many well wishes and prayers from everyone.â€
His rehabilitation will continue as an outpatient. He will go to the Kessler Rehabilitation Center in Ocean Township (N.J.) twice a week, and travel to the Kessler Institute in West Orange once a week.
The tracheotomy was removed last week.
LeGrand was injured while making a tackle in the fourth quarter against Army on Oct. 16, 2010. He spent five weeks at Hackensack Medical Center before being transported to the Kessler Institute for rehabilitation.
