It will be a long, anguishing road back for Jason Pierre-Paul. This comes from Joe Klecko, as tough as they come, who overcame a patella tendon tear in 1982, but never had to play in the trenches with nine fingers.
“He’s not gonna come back and be dominant very quickly, I don’t think. I really don’t believe that at all,” Klecko told The Post after being informed of ESPN’s report that JPP’s right index finger had been amputated following his ill-fated July 4 fireworks accident.
Klecko doesn’t know of any defensive linemen who were forced to play without 10 fingers.
