Jason Pierre-Paul Could Return In October
6 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that the best-case scenario could involve defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) returning to the team in October. But that's only if JPP doesn't require surgery to stabilize the cervical fracture he suffered in a car accident in May. Last week, Arians said the timeline for Pierre-Paul could be five or six months. The pass-rusher won't be on the field anytime soon and should begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. JPP had 12.5 sacks in his first year with Tampa in 2018, so his absence will be a big blow to the Bucs defensive line to begin the season and possibly for much of the year.
