Jason Pierre-Paul activated for Giants vs. Buccaneers

It's go time for JPP.

The Giants added Jason Pierre-Paul to their active roster on Saturday, signaling and virtually guaranteeing his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers in Tampa. Until now, the only clues to the defensive end's progress and readiness to play have been words from players and coaches. Now, finally, there is an action.

The Giants had a two-week roster exemption for Pierre-Paul, so there was no reason for them to add him to the 53-man team until after this game. By doing it before the game, he's pretty much a lock to make his 2015 debut against the Bucs.
