Tracy Morgan Health Update After Wal-Mart Truck Wreck & Surgery: Will Former ‘SNL’ Vet Lose His Leg? [RUMORS]

Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan is in the hospital where he is recovering from injuries suffered in last weekend’s deadly limo crash. Early Saturday morning a Wal-Mart tractor-trailer truck crashed into Morgan’s limo bus, injuring morgan and three others and tragically killing James “Jimmy Mack” McNair. Morgan suffered multiple broken bones, and reportedly underwent surgery on his leg. Not long after, rumors spread that the 30 Rock and SNL star was going to have to have his leg amputated. Now Morgan’s rep has released a health update addressing the rumors.

Shortly, after Morgan’s crash, his rep Lewis Kay, released a statement to the press about his condition.:

"His family is now with him and he is receiving excellent care. We don't anticipate much of a change in his condition today but will provide a further update once more information becomes available."

Earlier this week, Kay updated the press about Morgan’s condition:

"While Tracy remains in critical condition, he has been more responsive today, which is an incredibly encouraging sign. We expect him to remain in the hospital for several weeks. His family is tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans."

Morgan had to undergo surgery on his leg. This sparked rumors that the comedian was in danger of losing his limb. Morgan fiance Megan Wollover put an end to those rumors via a press statement by Kay which reads:

"The concern for his well-being has been overwhelming, but Megan [Morgan’s fiance] is respectfully asking that the media await official word through these channels before speculating (mostly inaccurately) on his condition. Rumors about amputating his leg are completely fabricated.”
