Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul wasn’t able to finish Sunday’s game because of a groin injury. Now, they’re awaiting word on the rest of the season.

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, Pierre-Paul is in Philadelphia today, visiting noted sports hernia surgeon Dr. Williams Meyers.

The visit itself isn’t a sign a impending doom or anything, but Pierre-Paul’s condition is clearly a concern. He expressed optimism after the game, and it could be that checking in with Meyers is just to make sure he’s not making a problem worse.

Pierre-Paul has 7.0 sacks in 12 games this season, a solid output during his bet-on-himself season. Assuming he’s well, the 27-year-old is positioned to hit it big in free agency this offseason.
