NFL Pro Bowler Jason Pierre-Paul hasn't communicated with New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin since having his right index finger amputated because of a fireworks accident, Coughlin told SI's Jenny Vrentas.

Coughlin says he first heard about the incident Sunday afternoon July 5, one day after the accident occurred, and texted Pierre-Paul, "How can I help you?"

Three and-a-half weeks later, Pierre-Paul still hasn't responded, he told Vrentas.
