Spokesman Lewis Kay said Saturday that the former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" star will continue his recovery efforts at home with an "aggressive outpatient program."
Morgan suffered a broken leg and broken ribs when the limousine van he was riding in was hit from behind June 7 by a Wal-Mart truck on the New Jersey Turnpike.
