Jason Pierre-Paul Still Poses a Problem for the Giants

The shadowy comeback story of Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul remained something of a mystery Wednesday. Pierre-Paul had been expected to meet with team officials this week for a second time since he injured his right hand in a Fourth of July weekend fireworks accident.

But when Coach Tom Coughlin was asked what the situation was with Pierre-Paul, he replied, “I wish I knew.”

Asked if Pierre-Paul was visiting with the Giants on Wednesday, Coughlin said: “Not that I know of. As soon as I have information, I’ll let you know.”

Pierre-Paul is trying to convince the Giants that despite the amputation of his right index finger and the additional damage to his right thumb and middle finger, he is — or soon will be — ready to resume playing football.
