Lorenzo Bevilaqua/ESPN Images(NEW YORK) — Surgery will likely keep New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul off the field for the rest of the season, a source told ESPN.
Pierre-Paul had surgery Wednesday morning to repair a hernia and injured groin, and his recovery time will be at least six weeks, according to the source. That will keep him out of the game up to the conference championship. He injured his groin Sunday during the Giants’ loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pierre-Paul had returned this season after a Fourth of July fireworks accident in 2015 left him without his right index finger and missing parts of others.
After his surgery Wednesday, Pierre-Paul posted to his social media accounts that the surgery was successful.
