The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will reportedly activate defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul from the non-football injury list and play him Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Pierre-Paul was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise abject Buccaneers defense in 2018. He finished with 58 combined tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks.
The 30-year-old was involved in a car accident in May and suffered a fractured vertebra. He declined to undergo neck surgery immediately after the crash, leaving the door open for him to play at some point in the 2019 season.
