The 26-year-old former first-round pick was examined by doctors after being hospitalized for his injuries, which are not believed to be career-threatening, the sources said. While full details are not yet known, a source told ESPN.com that both hands were injured. Pierre-Paul suffered severe burns on the palm of one hand and the tips of three fingers, and one finger is being tested for nerve damage. He didn't lose any fingers, and doctors believe there will be no permanent damage or disfigurement of his hands. Pierre-Paul was still in the hospital Monday, a source confirmed to ESPN. The Giants still were attempting to determine the extent of the injury and a prognosis as of Monday afternoon, according to the source. The injuries stemming from the incident could affect Pierre-Paul's future with the Giants after the pass-rusher enjoyed one of his best seasons as a pro in 2014. The Giants used the franchise tag on the two-time Pro Bowler, but he has yet to sign the $14.8 million tender and is consequently not under contract. The Giants would be OK with letting Pierre-Paul play out the 2015 season on the $14.8 million franchise number and be eligible for free agency again next year. Per NFL rules, the sides have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term deal. After that time, should he sign the tender offer, Pierre-Paul would be locked into a one-year contract for 2015. And This From Twitter: "Jason Pierre-Paul's hand on the way to heaven..."
Wow, must have been a big firecracker. I had a "Black Cat" go off in my hand as a kid. Mom put some Iodine Tincture on my fingers and that was it. At least he didn't try to shoot it off his head.
At least he wasn't the dumbass who died launching fireworks off the top of his head. Or the guy immortalized on YouTube shooting a roman candle from his arse.
JPP had his right index finger amputated down to the full base knuckle. His thumb also has multiple screws. If you're CJ Wilson you must be crying. He had 2 fingers amputated, was already on the roster bubble for the Bucs. His final time in the spotlight is an afterthought because of JPP.
