REPORTS: GIANTS' PIERRE-PAUL HURT BY FIREWORKS

Giants and former USF defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul injured a hand in a July Fourth fireworks accident at his South Florida home, but the injuries were not thought to be career-threatening, media reports said Sunday.

Paul, 26 and a two-time Pro Bowl player, was admitted to North Broward Medical Center in Deerfield Beach for treatment, the New York Post said. The flesh on the injured hand was burned off the palm and fingertips but his fingers are intact, the Post said.
