Jason Pierre-Paul
According to Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen, there is some concern about whether Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul‘s middle finger will ever be “football-functional.”
Pierre-Paul had his right finger amputated and his thumbย was severely fractured after a fireworks incident.
On top of that, there are reportedlyย varying whispers about Pierre-Paul’s weight, as heย wasย down “at least 20 pounds, maybe more,” upon visiting with the Giants.
Aย source tells the two insiders that JPP weighed just 246 pounds, but another team source said he was “around 255 pounds.”
Pierre-Paul was previously listedย 6-foot-5, 278 pounds, but was looking to get down toย 265 for training camp.
Earlier in the week,ย Pierre-Paul posted a video on Instagram of him bench pressingย 240 pounds. However, it has actually raised more concerns about his condition.
