Jason Pierre-Paul could face criminal fireworks possession charge

— -- Jason Pierre-Paul could face criminal charges in Florida pending the results of a police investigation into the fireworks incident that injured the Giants defensive end's hands last weekend, according to a report by NJ.com.

Brad McKeon, a public information officer for the Coral Springs Police Department, told NJ.com that police are determining whether Pierre-Paul should be charged with criminal possession of fireworks.

Pierre-Paul suffered injuries to both of his hands, including severe burns and possible nerve damage, sources told ESPN on Sunday. Although the injuries are not believed to be career-threatening, Giants officials visited Pierre-Paul in the hospital Tuesday and still are trying to determine a prognosis, according to sources.

Pierre-Paul, who has yet to sign his $14.8 million franchise tender with the Giants, could be in for more trouble, according to McKeon, who told NJ.com that police are looking into "what specific fireworks he had."

Coral Springs police also have attempted to arrange a meeting with Pierre-Paul and his agency, McKeon told NJ.com.

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 is not under contract since he has not signed the tender.

There is concern that Pierre-Paul's hand injury could force him to miss training camp and the start of the regular season, one team source told ESPN on Monday, but the Giants are still awaiting more medical answers.
