Report: Jason Pierre-Paul will return to Giants before season opener

The Giants still do not have an RSVP from JPP, but one report indicates that the defensive end will arrive at the team's facility prior to the Sept. 13 regular-season opener.

NFL Network cites several sources who say Jason Pierre-Paul is "progressing very well" in his rehab from the fireworks mishap on July 4 that led to various injuries to his right hand and the amputation of his index finger.

The report also states that Pierre-Paul intends to report to the Giants and sign his franchise tag tender (or at least a version of it) prior to the start of the regular season, but there is no certainty whether he will be available to play in that opener against the Cowboys.
