Jason Pierre-Paul Won't Undergo Surgery
6 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) won't undergo surgery on a fractured vertebrae in his neck after receiving several opinions, according to sources. Head coach Bruce Arians said the hope is that Pierre-Paul can play at some point this year, but the best-case-scenario seems to be a five- to six-month recovery period. Doctors don't think the injury is career-threatening, but JPP might be on the Physically Unable to Perform list for around half the season. He led the Bucs with 12.5 sacks in 2018, becoming the first Tampa player to reach double-digit sacks since 2005.
