Jason Pierre-Paul had surgery Monday on his damaged right hand. It was planned. Actually, it was delayed until after the season so that Pierre-Paul could return from his July 4 fireworks accident and help the New York Giants' pass rush in the final weeks of the 2015 season.
Pierre-Paul said shortly before the end of the season that the goal of the surgery was to further repair his middle finger, which had been augmented by several skin-graft procedures due to his burns, so that he could flex it better and hopefully play with a four-fingered glove on his right hand instead of the big heavy club he wore this season.
