Coach Coughlin says JPP not ready to play yet


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Tom Coughlin is glad Jason Pierre-Paul was here, but doesn’t know when he’ll be back.

Pierre-Paul, the two-time Pro Bowler who led the Giants with 12.5 sacks last season, this week visited the team and was examined by its doctors for the first time since suffering serious hand injuries in a fireworks accident in Florida on July 4. JPP was not cleared medically to return to the football field and has returned to his home state.

Coughlin opened his news conference this morning with a statement about Pierre-Paul.

“As you know, JPP was here for a couple of days,” Coughlin said.
