Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul has hernia surgery
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is going to miss the rest of the regular season after surgery to repair a sports hernia.
The 27-year-old old tweeted on Wednesday that he had surgery and was feeling well.
Pierre-Paul sustained the injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The normal recovery time from hernia surgery is four to six weeks, so Pierre-Paul needs the Giants to end a four-year playoff drought to play again this season.
