Almost no doubt that he chopped it because the surgeries and rehabilitation process/attempt would take forever.
But I wonder how much damage there is to the rest of his hand. Most of your grip strength does NOT come from your index finger... could def function, but wonder if he'll be able to thrive in the next year.
I feel like, probably not.
What's funny/interesting is: The Giants have been hesitant to invest in him, because they feel like he they feel like he wasn't doing everything to maximize his talent, from working out to film to technique... they didn't feel like he's be protecting their investment... and he blew his fukking hand off. shyt is crazy.
