Jason Pierre-Paul will make his 2015 debut on Sunday for the New York Giants against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Pierre-Paul has not played since last season. A July 4 fireworks accident cost him his right index finger and severely damaged other parts of his right hand. He stayed away from the team after the accident and returned just two weeks ago, at which time team doctors deemed him fit to return to practice and the team and player agreed on an incentive-laden contract for the remainder of this season.

Pierre-Paul had 12.5 sacks for the Giants last season and a total of 42 over the past five years.
