Jason Pierre-Paul and the Giants are nearly reunited.
When he gets on the field is another story.
The Giants’ medical team, after examining Pierre-Paul on Monday, signed off on his return to football, deeming his right hand – permanently damaged in a July 4 fireworks accident – can withstand the rigors of NFL football. No one knows where his career goes from here, but the Giants are willing to give him the chance to find out.
The team and Pierre-Paul’s camp were in negotiations Tuesday, and there was optimism on both sides that something would get done.
