Report: Pierre-Paul's hand injury 'not career-threatening'

The hand injury that Jason Pierre-Paul reportedly suffered on the 4th of July is not expected to put his career in jeopardy.

While early indications have been that Pierre-Paul mangled his hand pretty badly in a fireworks accident, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that the New York Giants defensive end was still meeting with doctors but that the injury is “not career-threatening.”
