Jason Pierre-Paul had "work done" on his injured hand this week and wanted to play, but the Giants said they wouldn't allow it, according to FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer.

Glazer reported that Pierre-Paul has skin grafts done on the hand and wanted the Giants to bandage the hand up so he could suit up. The Giants said "absolutely not" after seeing Pierre-Paul, who has also lost a lot of weight, according to Glazer, because he hasn't been able to work out.
