Kim Jones Opens Up About Life-Threatening Heart Scare on Today Show

NFL Network reporter Kim Jones appeared on NBC's Today Show on Wednesday in order to raise awareness regarding aortic dissection. Jones suffered the health scare – which involved a tear in one of her arteries – during a Redskins practice in Nov. 2018.

"I walked outside and I tripped,'' Jones told the NBC crew. "Immediately, I knew something was wrong, but then I knew it was something serious because this is something I'd never experienced before. So, I went back into the room, I sat down, and from that point on I was in and out of consciousness.
