Report: C.J. Wilson lost two fingers in fireworks accident

New Orleans Saints v Tampa Bay Buccaneers
 
A new report says the hand injury suffered by Buccaneers cornerback C.J. Wilson in a Fourth of July fireworks accident was very serious.
 
The Lincoln Times-News in Wilson’s hometown of Lincolnton, North Carolina reports that Wilson lost two fingers in the accident. The report cites sources close to the family and says the incident occurred at home in Lincolnton, with family and close friends present.
 
Such an injury would be career-threatening for Wilson, a 25-year-old who has been in the NFL for two years. Wilson entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina State, played in 2013 for the Bears and then signed last year with the Bucs.
 
The Buccaneers have acknowledged they’re aware of the injury but have not released any details about Wilson’s condition. Wilson’s agent has likewise confirmed that he’s injured but declined to release any medical information.

I posted this in the same forum a couple days ago.

Jason Pierre-Paul, Giants franchise tag offer player, also injured his hand with fireworks.

Giants have withdrawn the mega contract offer.

 

Some here wanted the Bengals to go after him during free agency and now his career is in jeopardy from 

a stupid accident.

"New York Giants defensive lineman Jason Pierre-Paul reportedly had his right index finger amputated Wednesday after suffering an injury in a fireworks accident on the Fourth of July."

 

And this was a guy who many wanted to see a Bengal...
