NFL star's missing fingers mystery may finally be solved

Worst. Scooby Doo. Ever.

IN THE WAKE of Jason Pierre-Paul’s visit with the New York Giants’ team doctors last week, new details are emerging about the specific injuries Pierre-Paul sustained in a fireworks accident July 4.

According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, Pierre-Paul is not only missing his entire right index finger, but he is also missing part of his right thumb.

Graziano broke this news on ESPN, saying:

He’s missing the tip of his thumb. It was presented to me as not a significant portion of the thumb… He also had a procedure done on his middle finger, a repair procedure done on his middle finger as recently as three days before he met with Giants team doctors last week.”

The newest details of the status of Pierre-Paul’s injury follow reports this past weekend that the defensive end’s injuries were more serious than previously thought. They have also prevented him from working out and subsequently caused him to lose serious weight.

Graziano also speculated that Pierre-Paul will miss the entire season. This could cost him as much as $14.8 million, the amount he would’ve earned this season under the Giants’ franchise tag.

Last month, the New York Daily News leaked the first pictures of Pierre-Paul since 4 July:

    Was referring to alleged steroid use (in Dubai) – not just because he has female looking breasts, which is a symptom. Not my type of thing :)

    Has to be the strangest post fight interview I’ve seen, he was pretty much insulting Haye, also changed subject way too quick. Haye copped it too but done well to stay professional

    There is no such thing as decent opposition in the heavyweight division. It’s a complete joke.

    Not a big fan of haye but he got the job done with ease, he looks in very good condition, think he still has a place in the division, maybe enough to get a belt

    “Testing myself” – not really! This is why people turn away from boxing, majority fights are complete mismatches, complete non-event
