While the NFL world waits for an update on Jason Pierre-Paul's status after he was injured lighting off fireworks over the holiday weekend, there are reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback C.J. Wilson also suffered a serious hand injury in a fireworks accident.

Ryan Herman of Lincoln Times-News reports that sources close to Wilson's family say Wilson lost two fingers lighting fireworks over the 4th of July weekend.

Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune first reported that Wilson had injured his hand, though the severity of it was unknown:

The Bucs released a statement, but did not comment on the severity of the injury:

Wilson's agent, Joel Turner, declined to comment on the injury when contacted by Business Insider.

Thus far, Herman is the only source to report that Wilson lost two fingers, though ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL's Ian Rapoport both reported it was said to be serious.

Most reports indicate that Pierre-Paul's injury is less serious, and some believe he can be ready for the NFL season. Though the Giants took away his $60 million contract offer, if nothing else, he can play on the franchise tag for a season.

Wilson, however, doesn't have the experience of Pierre-Paul. He has played just four games in two seasons and is on the final year of a two-year deal worth $585,000 and unguaranteed.

If Wilson's injuries are as bad as reported, it's possible that it could end his career.
