Earlier today we reported that Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was seen on the sidelines of Bucs practice for the first time. Pierre-Paul, of course, was not practicing with the team, but he did not have a neck brace on him as he was walking around talking to teammates, which was a good sign following his car accident this summer.
Now, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Pierre-Paul has been cleared to resume rehab.
Less than four months after suffering a fractured vertebra in a car wreck, #Bucs DE Jason Pierre-Paul has been cleared by club and independent doctors to resume rehab activities, sources say. Still a process to be cleared to play, but positive steps after rare and serious injury.
