NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Jason Pierre-Paul lost his index finger and the tip of his thumb following a July 4 fireworks accident, and at one point, it appeared he might lose his entire right hand, the Giants defensive end said.
“Even the doctors counted me out,” Pierre-Paul told the New York Post. “They were like, ‘Yeah, we’re gonna have to cut his whole hand off’ and, you know … I just told the doctor not to cut my hand and passed out.
“It wasn’t scary at all,” he said of accident.
