Jason Pierre-Paul Won't Need Surgery On Shoulder

Sep 13, 2014 11:39 AM

Jason Pierre-Paul will not need surgery on his shoulder.

Pierre-Paul sat out the end of the 2013 season to rest his severe shoulder injury.

Pierre-Paul is continuing his rehab efforts and will have a follow-up with Dr. James Andrews in six weeks.

“If there were a game right now, I could play,” said Pierre-Paul. “At the end of the day next (season), I know I’m going to be 100% going into next season, and training camp, and minicamp - whatever - OTAs. And I’ll be all that for all that.”
