Jason Pierre-Paul ‘severely’ injures hand in fireworks accident

Jason Pierre-Paul has been unhappy with a lack of long-term contract, but he now may have a much bigger problem on his hands — literally.

The Giants’ star defensive end “severely” injured his hand in a fireworks accident, according to WINZ Radio in Miami. Fox Sports confirmed that the 26-year-old suffered a hand injury, but the extent was unknown.

Details are sparse, but according to various reports, Pierre-Paul was shooting off fireworks on the Fourth of July in Miami. A woman claiming to be his neighbor posted a photo on Twitter, indicating she was assisting him with the fireworks, which were transported in a U-Haul truck.
