NY Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul returned to team practice on Thursday after losing fingers on his right hand in a freak 4th of July accident.
Pierre-Paul, 28, went into hiding for months after fireworks blew off his right index finger and parts of his right thumb and middle finger of his right hand.
The media got a good look at Pierre-Paul’s mangled hand during a post-practice press conference on Friday.
Journalists wondered aloud how Pierre-Paul’s injury would affect his defensive game.
“Hopefully it doesn’t,” Pierre-Paul said, according to NJ.com. “I’m still the same Jason Pierre-Paul. The skill set hasn’t changed. I’ve probably gotten even better. I’m ready to play football and help my team win.”
Pierre-Paul was reluctant to talk to the media about the fireworks accident and the aftermath.
“I’m not going to go into detail with it,” he said, according to NJ.com. “It is what it is. I’ve lived and learned from it and moved on.”
Pierre-Paul said he felt fortunate because he saw other patients in the hospital who were in worse physical shape than he was.
“I look every day and see my hand and say, ‘Thank you, Lord.’ I saw 12 people in the hospital and my hand was the best one.”
My-appetite-is-gone. But, good for him that he is being strong about an injury like that. I would have freaked out for a long time.
Bless him I can’t imagine.
Me either. I was tempted to say something off the cuff, but I can’t be humorous with something like that. He could have ended his career.

Sometimes my hands cut the fool due to eczema and I thought that was bad until you see this and are reminded that somewhere someone always is going through worse.
?Quentin Tarantino has BIG BALLS ?
True! Good outlook. It doesn’t negate what you’re feeling, but at least it makes you grateful that you are dealing with something you can handle.
He couldn’t rub on me or get me in the mood with those boiled peanuts. #Yuck
Absolutely
Boiled peanuts ????
Chile that’s the first thing i thought of. Lol.
And they’re after him. They threaten anyone who dares challenge their White supremacy? Good for him though??
#DEAD
#DeadManHand look horrid, It would take some getting use to if I was his partner, he’d have to wear a glove. Play with fireworks again imbecile!
Yep, and please don’t apologize Quentin

I’m just thinking…maybe…it happened…like in…If Loving You Is Wrong…where the cop blew the other cop’s hand off on purpose for not delivering his money…
But DAMN!
He gone finger you!
Damn, had to be painful, I hope his performance is the same or else he could be in danger of being cut?
Did you see how that man acted a crying fool when he found his wife in the shed getting some from the dude next door? I was so disgusted with his reaction but I laughed too because I can’t stand him!
So, they arrested a man for 2 of the 7 church fires in St. Louis.

Giiirrrrrl I was dying! I’m like REALLY THOUGH…and the momma changed her tune too lol
I wish this was a daily soap opera, but then again, it probably wouldn’t be as juicy.
Lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/67f892819d5a4dae78d05f6b5fd833e00f791a9d63c63ab192b51a05d3842e0e.jpg
I dunno I never could get into the Soaps but from what my momma tell me it was the ish…so maybe not…
Lol! He was falling all out, couldn’t walk! I was waiting for his mama to say, “Boy, get up and act like the psychiatrist you’re suppose to be!”
Lol I was choking https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/23f4b2d66ba5ea0564c2848497b0e4729fc914dcdafcdbe409a7e8ed97107649.png

Wish I would have known sooner?
It wouldn’t take getting used to for me…As long as he’s getting that NFL money?? Chile, I once dated a man who was two steps away from Jesus’s front door. Ever seen testis with liver spots? Chile?? Digressing…Yeah, I could handle the mangled hand. Long as it ain’t no open wounds, he could finger me with it too? Looks plump thus pleasuring??
Was looking for this the other day for a good laugh, I’m gonna have to save this. Sometimes I close my office door and do a little work out and forget the steps.
“I look every day and see my hand and say, ‘Thank you, Lord.’ I saw 12 people in the hospital and my hand was the best one.”
And none of yall used any damn common sense.
I hateth thou…
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Lord ?

And that dumb zzz friend of hers! Smh hell they both nuts…. And are these women gay or something? Smh I ain’t never seen no mess like this Chile smh
Lol he’s an NFL player tho. If them ying yang twins could get em I’m sure he can. At least his face still straight.
If he can play the same or better that’s great…. I bet once he retires he takes more of his hand off…
Too bad so sad
YAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Catwalk for Cancer!
All that NFL money and they couldn’t reconstruct, bread twist tie, pipe cleaner, vacation bible school arts and craft his fingers back better than THAT? #blackfingersmatter
Them fingers look like some overcooked grilled lil smokies……with jerk seasoning.
Blackfingersmatter…Bwahahahahaha!!!!! ???

He needs to be the Poster Child for what-the-Fugg-not-to-do on 4th of July
#aintmyfault
???? lort I’m dying laughing
More proof that athletes are not drafted because of their intelligence.
Furthermore, the manufacturer and distributor of whatever explosive he used, should be facing federal charges.
Yep I might go see him movie twice frfr. Folks need to see that not everybody will bow down to their threats’
I already received the emails from police family members to boycott his film.
I just signed the don lemon petition. Now I wait….
Why exactly? It was either an illegal firework, or he was drunk/high and didn’t let it go. Either way it is all on him.
Y’all thank he having another Rock Em Sock Em 4th July Soirée next year, or nah?!?!?
Agree. Sue yourself ??
I’m glad I wasn’t eating when I checked in. These young people with money and fireworks SMDH.
? Go head US Girl Gymnasts ?
**************
****************

Jaceyoooooooon nailed Jidenna
Lol
He needs to stick with that look ?
Jayceon is… “2 On”……..he came thru……….

Looks just like him
No civilian should be able to obtain an explosive device that’s powerful enough to blow their fingers off.
DWL!!!
Bol lmao ??
Omg
I told yall he looks good in a suit!
Lol
Yes he does
Lol
Yeah he absolutely did.
“Shake it like a salt shaker”. That used to be my jam! By the way….ying/yang twins were ugly from head to toe.
or his life.
He cleans up nicely
#perspective Good for him!
I’m sorry for his loss but I’ve got to ask… How can you catch a ball and throw it accurately when you’re missing some fingers… All the fingers are needed to make a firm grip… I’m just saying…
Lol speak!
#DEAD
I gotta go find them. LOL
Them thangs look HURRIBBLE.
Not boiled peanuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!
I can’t imagine what he’s going through. If I was in the nfl I would wrap myself in bublewrap during the off season just to be safe
You know the other teams players will be targeting him on the field. smh.
I have a signed football from him and his team mates and I am so happy he is back to working and doing what he loves so I wish him nothing but the best
??????
I bet he never ever want to see another fireworks anything in his lifetime
