TAMPA, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers say cornerback C.J. Wilson injured one of his hands in a Fourth of July accident.

In a statement Wednesday, the team didn’t describe the nature of the accident but said its “primary concern at this moment is for his long-term health.”

Wilson was injured near his hometown of Lincolnton, N.C. He played at North Carolina State and has played in four NFL games over two seasons, two coming last year with the Bucs.

Maj. Lee Caskey of the Lincoln County sheriff’s office says there was no call for an ambulance or emergency medical care that night, though a fire department and the sheriff’s office were eventually called to a local hospital where Wilson had been taken for treatment.

Caskey didn’t have details about Wilson’s injury.
