NEW YORK -- Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul filed a lawsuit Wednesday against ESPN and reporter Adam Schefter for posting his medical records last summer.
The lawsuit, filed in Miami Dade County in Florida, alleges that Pierre-Paul's privacy was violated - as was the state's medical records statute - by the report after the player severely injured his right hand in a fireworks accident on July 4.
The New York Post first reported the lawsuit Wednesday night.
The lawsuit doesn't specify how much money Pierre-Paul is seeking, other than it "is an action for damages in excess of $15,000."
