The New York Giants are anxious to find out more information about the status of defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul after a fireworks mishap left him with a significantly injured hand last weekend. However, they have not yet been able to visit Pierre-Paul in person.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, Giants officials have been in South Florida since Monday night and are still patiently waiting to see Pierre-Paul and hope that he’s all right.

The full severity of the injury is still somewhat uncertain still at this point. It isn’t thought to be career-threatening, but could force him to miss the start of the season.

The Giants already pulled a long-term contract offer off the table for Pierre-Paul. They’re going to want to know his full status before extending another deal his direction. But with the deadline for signing players under the franchise tag to long-term deals just over a week away, it seems unlikely that process will get completed in time.

Meanwhile, all the Giants can do is wait until they can get a better indication of just how Pierre-Paul is doing at this stage.
