Jason Pierre-Paul moving forward, reveals extent of damage to hand

Jason Pierre-Paul addresses his return to the Giants after suffering a hand injury during a fireworks accident.

New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul on Friday spoke to the media for the first time since he injured his right hand in a fireworks accident on the Fourth of July and had to have his index finger amputated. Though he declined to go into details about his accident, he revealed that he'll wear a four-fingered glove on his surgically-repaired right hand whenever he returns to the field.

"I am the same JPP that I was last year," he said.
