The status of Jason Pierre-Paul for this season, let alone the rest of his career, remains up in the air after he injured his right hand in a 4th of July fireworks accident. However, despite losing his right index finger and a portion of his thumb, one thing Pierre-Paul can still do almost flawlessly is bench press a bunch of weights, as he posted on his Instagram.

Though Pierre-Paul wasn’t lifting unassisted, the fact that he still has enough strength to lift that amount of weight without showing great signs of a struggle is encouraging. He isn’t out of the woods just yet, but he is certainly heading in the right direction based on this video.
Campus Sports will update Pierre-Paul’s status as any new information becomes available.
