It was reported on Sunday that JPP injured his hand during a fireworks accident on the Fourth of July on Saturday. Pierre-Paul had flesh burned from his hand, and it was considered a severe injury.
However, it looked he would be fine once he would heal, but it looks like it is much more worse than that.
The guy who first reported the news, Andy Slater, says the Giants star could end up having his hand amputated:
Jason Pierre-Paul update: As of 90 mins ago, he was still in hospital. Hand injury so severe, he could still possibly lose it.

Jason Pierre-Paul expected to meet with doctors, they will have their say, but early indications are, hand injury is not career threatening.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 5, 2015JPP has burns on palm, 3 fingers. 1 finger could have nerve damage. Didn't lose any fingers, team thinks he'll be OK, per @DanGrazianoESPN.
