Jason Pierre-Paul already knows what he'll be thinking when he walks onto an NFL field for the first time in 2015 -- quite possibly this Sunday in Tampa.
"It's going to be crazy,'' he said Wednesday. "They've been waiting on me. I'm here, I've arrived. They say I can't, but I did. It's on me.''
The defensive end with the mangled right hand continued his impressive trajectory toward a return that is coming sooner than most anticipated when he finally was cleared by the team's medical staff and signed a one-year contract nine days ago. He was taking reps Wednesday with both the scout team, as he did last week, and the regular defense.
