Doctor explains Jason Pierre-Paul's options with groin injury

Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul could be back on the field in a week or his season could be over, according to an Orthopaedic surgeon. Everything hinges on the result of Tuesday's visit to renowned core muscle injuries surgeon William Meyers.

Pierre-Paul injured his groin in the second quarter of Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Steelers. The severity of the injury is unclear.

"The extent is going to be if there's any tearing and whether or not it needs to be surgically fixed," said Dr. Alexis Colvin, an Orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
