New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is expected to miss at least the rest of the regular season after undergoing surgery.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Pierre-Paul had surgery to repair a core muscle and will miss six weeks. Pierre-Paul shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed on Wednesday morning.
The Giants are set to take on the explosive Dallas Cowboys this weekend, so the timing certainly is not ideal. Pierre-Paul has proven that he can still make an impact even after mangling his hand in a fireworks mishap, as he has recorded seven sacks this season and has played like the explosive player we grew used to seeing prior to the accident.
With Pierre-Paul having signed a one-year “prove it” deal with the Giants last offseason, there’s a possibility he has played his last snap with the team.
