EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Giants are going to push Jason Pierre-Paul more in practice this week. There is a chance the two-time Pro Bowl defensive end will play for the first time since losing a finger in a July 4 fireworks accident.
Pierre Paul’s stamina and his ability to play with a swollen right hand that lost an index finger will be tested in practice, coach Tom Coughlin said Monday.
If the 26-year-old makes enough progress, the Giants (4-4) would be open to using him against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
