The defensive end discussed his options with his medical team and family members, and decided that the amputation was the best decision for his health and his career.

According to Reports, team officials flew to Florida to determine how extensive his hand injuries were, but never made it out of the waiting room to see him.

The 26-year-old had an excellent season in 2014 and the Giants used the franchise tag on him.

Pierre-Paul is technically not under contract as he has not yet signed his one-year franchise tender.

The deadline for franchised players to agree to long-term contracts is July 15. If a deal can’t be reached by then, Pierre-Paul would have to play under his $14.8 million tender, unless the Giants decide to withdraw it.

Meanwhile, the father of Tampa Bay cornerback C.J. Wilson told a Charlotte television station that his son lost two fingers in a July 4 fireworks accident.
