Nobody seems to know when injured Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul will rejoin his teammates in East Rutherford. He could show up before Week 1, as NFL Network reported. Perhaps he won’t, as Tom Coughlin said Tuesday JPP hasn’t told him when he’s coming back.
What does appear clear is that Pierre-Paul is trying to get himself as healthy as possible after his July 4 fireworks accident and be in position to earn as much of the one-year, $14.8 million franchise tag he was assigned by the Giants as he can. And former Giants quarterback Phil Simms takes no issue with that approach.
