Jason Pierre-Paul Expecting to Play for Bucs in Week 8 After Neck Injury

Good news for Jason Pierre-Paul ... the Tampa Bay Bucs passrusher says he's all healed up after suffering a neck injury in a May car crash and expects to get back on the field for Week 8.

As we previously reported, JPP suffered a fracture in his neck during a single car wreck on May 2nd at 5 AM in Florida while driving his SUV. He spent the past couple of months in a neckbrace while he recovered.

At the time, the Bucs placed 30-year-old JPP on the non-football injury list -- making him ineligible to play for the first 6 weeks of the NFL season.
