EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Giants finally have spoken with defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul about injuries the former USF standout sustained in a fireworks accident July 4.

General manager Jerry Reese said Monday "it was a personal conversation, and I want to keep it private between him and I."

Reese said the Giants are not annoyed about their inability to communicate with Pierre-Paul. The team has not released details of the injuries in part because it has not been given the opportunity to examine him.

The team sent representatives to the Miami area after the accident but they were unable to visit in the hospital with Pierre-Paul.
