Jason Pierre-Paul injures hand in fireworks accident
Some troubling news on New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Pierre-Paul suffered a hand injury Saturday night while attempting to light fireworks, according to two sources briefed of the situation. The full extent of the injury is unknown, but did require hospitalization.
There were multiple tweets on Saturday indicating that Pierre-Paul had procured a large amount of fireworks for a Fourth of July celebration at or near his home in South Florida. The fireworks appear to have been transported in a rented U-Haul van. Pierre-Paul posted an Instagram video in front of the van prior to Saturday's incident.
