Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback CJ Wilson suffered a hand injury in last week's Independence Day celebrations.
The 25-year-old was involved in an incident with fireworks, and the team said they are focusing on his "long-term health".
They said in a statement: "We are aware that CJ was involved in an accident that occurred over the July 4 holiday.
"It is our understanding that the injury occurred to one of his hands and our primary concern at this moment is for his long-term health. We have been in contact with CJ and are continuing to monitor the situation."
Wilson started twice last season.
