ATHENS — Devon Gales, the Southern wide receiver who suffered a paralyzing neck injury during a September football game at Georgia, is returning to his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with the promise his family soon will have a new home designed to accommodate his needs. Gales’ parents, Donny and Tanisha Gales, wiped tears from their eyes on Thursday when it was announced funds are being raised for a new home accessible to his wheelchair. Thursday’s press conference was designed to give the family a chance to say thank you to the Georgia community one day after Devon was released from the Shepherd Spinal Center in Atlanta.
