That's horrible.

What a shame.
How did they obtain that?  
Anakim : 7/8/2015 7:11 pm : link
ESPN will probably be sued for publicizing this. It's a private hospital, no?
I feel bad for the guy.  
BrettNYG10 : 7/8/2015 7:11 pm : link
Wow.

Someone should be getting fired over that chart getting released.
It also mentions

skin grafts, as widely suspected on BBI.

That's awful. Make a speedy recovery JPP.
What a shame

is right, if true, and what's the extent of damage to the rest of his hand? Does ESPN have moles in the hospital surgical ward copy room?
ESPN should have sat on that longer.  
Devon : 7/8/2015 7:15 pm : link
Both they and the hospital are going to likely be come after.

As stupid as he was, I feel terrible for JPP and hope he's saved well to this point. It's cold, but the Giants have to rescind the franchise tender now though.
Stupid question

It's one thing to speculate about the situation without knowing the facts. It's another to make that comment knowing the severity of the injury to another person. Shameful.

Without a finger and skin grafts on the rest of his hand?

He'll play again or try to, but he's not seeing an NFL field for at least most of this season and any dreams of a big pay day after this season are gone for him.

Ive never played DL but lineman have jacked up hands all the time. I'm assuming it's integral to leverage and initial contact. I could be wrong. I don't know. What's why I asked.

Thinking of Jason Pierre-Paul is this: Cutting off his finger simplifies and accelerates his recovery. Could be back in fewer than 2 months
This story has become just as ridiculous  
SimpleMan : 7/8/2015 7:21 pm : link
as Plax shooting himself.
if he can play  
sundayatone : 7/8/2015 7:21 pm : link
refs subconsciously will lean to his favor on holding calls.
omg  
giantfan2000 : 7/8/2015 7:21 pm : link
so so sad!!!

i feel really bad for JPP
regardless how you feel about his judgement

noone should ever have an accident like this

This is not quite career ending, but it does adversely affect him

Based on the video and pictures of the uhaul, i dont think he was transporting sparklers or bottle rockets around.

This was Jason Pierre-Pauls decision to amputate his finger. This sounds like a Ronnie Lott situation. Hes still in surgery now.

I would think you could grab and tackle with 4 fingers  
Bill L : 7/8/2015 7:22 pm : link
Once you get acclimated to it.

Stupid question, are there prosthetic fingers?
I can not believe...  
BleedingBlue2 : 7/8/2015 7:23 pm : link
that Schefter still has that up...
Wow  
rdt288 : 7/8/2015 7:23 pm : link

Any money JPP loses he will more than make up by suing ESPN
That's some bullshit right there
If this was his thumb his return to football could be in jeopardy  
Torrag : 7/8/2015 7:23 pm : link
It's integral to gripping and leverage. A single digit may be something he can adapt to. Of course we have no way of knowing the severity of further damage to his hand or the extent of graft, etc. he is undergoing.

The #Giants were unaware of any fingers of JPP being amputated until reading the @AdamSchefter report.
