The July 4th weekend probably didn’t play out the way Jason Pierre-Paul intended it to.
The Giants defensive end went from shooting fireworks with family and friends to sitting in the hospital and having to amputate a finger.
The bad news doesn’t stop there for JPP though. On top of losing one finger, JPP also suffered several fractures in his thumb.
Here are the details from PFT:
This may fall under the category of worrying about a boiling pot when the house is on fire.
But according to Ed Werder of ESPN, New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul also has fractures in his right thumb that will take six weeks to heal, assuming there are no further complications from his injuries.
Pierre-Paul had to have his right index finger amputated on Wednesday following an incident with fireworks over the weekend landed him in the hospital. Considering he’s lost one finger altogether, having a broken finger may not ultimately be that great a concern.
I’m sure the fractured thumb is the least of JPP’s concerns given he will actually be able to keep that finger, but at this point it is just insult to injury.
Stop messing around with things that blow up guys.
