Just hours after we learned that CJ Wilson of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost fingers in his fireworks accident over the weekend, the same news has come across the wire for New York Giants defensive stud Jason Pierre-Paul.
That’s the word from NFL insider Adam Schefter who says Jason Pierre Paul had his right index finger amputated today after his own fireworks related accident on July 4th.
Per Schefter:

I’m not sure how Schefter obtained Jason Pierre-Paul’s medical records legally, though I’m going to assume he did. Either way, that’s a awful situation for anybody to go through.
What’s to come for his future and the New York Giants remains to be seen after they pulled his contract off the table on Monday.
