Giants' Jason Pierre-Paul thrilled by return to field

TAMPA, Fla. - There are still adjustments to be made by Jason Pierre-Paul, even for the everyday things in life.

Such as getting dressed.

Pierre-Paul had just completed a remarkable return to the football field, recovering from horrific injuries he suffered in a July 4 fireworks accident that left him without his right index finger and parts of the thumb and middle finger. He had confounded even those closest to him by playing an astounding 46 of 63 defensive snaps on Sunday in the Giants' 32-18 win over the Bucs. Although he didn't come up with a sack, he did provide badly needed pressure on the quarterback while wearing what looked like a large mitten.
