  • Aggressive in spring practices

    Pierre-Paul was "pestering" OLBs coach Larry Foote for more reps during June minicamp, specifically looking to get more snaps in coverage, Carmen Vitali of Buccaneers.com reports.

    Analysis: IDP managers won't want to see a star pass rusher dropping back in coverage, but versatility is part of the appeal with Pierre-Paul, who has now found considerable success in both 4-3 and 3-4 defenses. A knee injury limited his practice reps throughout much of last season, but he still managed to play each of Tampa's 20 games in the regular season and postseason, recording 11.5 sacks overall. Pierre-Paul's eager approach to June minicamp suggests he's made a full recovery from minor knee…read more

  • Signs extension

    Pierre-Paul (knee) is signing a two-year contract extension through 2023, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This may be for cap purposes above all else, but it at least confirms he'll be back with the Bucs for 2021, teaming up with Shaquil Barrett to terrorize QBs off the edge. Pierre-Paul mentioned in February that he planned to have knee surgery, though he didn't make it sound like anything serious. Despite battling a knee injury throughout much of the season, Pierre-Paul started each of Tampa's 20 games, recording 9.5 sacks in the regular season and two more in the playoffs.

  • Getting another surgery

    Pierre-Paul said Wednesday that he will undergo a procedure on his knee, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: The 32-year-old pass rusher played at least 78 percent of defensive snaps in each of the Bucs' 20 games this past season, despite battling a knee injury that limited his practice reps throughout the year. Pierre-Paul claims he was at only 70 percent strength, and he notes that the upcoming surgery should help him get back to 100 percent before the 2021 campaign begins. He has one season remaining on a two-year, $25 million contract, with $5 million of his $12.5 million salary guaranteed for…read more

  • Another impactful season

    Pierre-Paul, who compiled three solo tackles and a pass breakup Sunday during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV, finished the 2020 regular season with 55 tackles (34 solo), 9.5 sacks, two interceptions, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 16 games.

    Analysis: The veteran edger rusher was in as fine a form as ever during the 2020 campaign. He played in every game for the third time in four years while posting his second-best sack tally of the last six seasons, and his four forced fumbles were a career high. Pierre-Paul inked a two-year, $25 million deal with Tampa Bay last offseason, so he seems assured of returning to the fold and playing a prominent role once again in 2021.

  • Green light for Super Bowl

    Pierre-Paul (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Super Bowl matchup against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul took the field for just one practice this week, but that's been standard procedure for most of the year. The veteran will be ready for Sunday's game as he seeks the second ring of his career. Pierre-Paul racked up 55 tackles, 9.5 sacks, six pass breakups and four forced fumbles over 16 regular-season games, and he tacked on another two sacks in the postseason.

  • Bumps to limited practice

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul's practice reps are still being managed, but it's encouraging to see him log limited activity after having been listed as a non-participant Wednesday. There doesn't appear to be any real worry about his status heading into the Super Bowl on Sunday.

  • Absent from practice, as usual

    Pierre-Paul didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul has regularly had his practice reps capped this season, and there's not yet any reason to believe that his lack of activity to begin the week represents anything other than the status quo continuing. The veteran edge rusher hasn't missed a game all year, and he played 86 percent of defensive snaps and notched two sacks during the Buccaneers' NFC Championship Game victory over Green Bay, despite sitting out three straight practices leading up to the contest.

  • Notches pair of sacks in win

    Pierre-Paul totaled five tackles (three solo), including two sacks, during the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: The veteran edge rusher came through at a critical time, with his pair of takedowns on Aaron Rodgers part of a five-sack day for the Buccaneers defense. Pierre-Paul snapped a five-game sack-less streak with Sunday's haul, and his veteran savvy and pass-rush acumen should both be indispensable to Tampa Bay's attempts to slow down the high-powered Chiefs during Super Bowl LV on Sunday, Feb. 7.

  • Ready to rock

    Pierre-Paul (knee) is not listed with an injury designation for Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul had his practice reps heavily managed this week, as he missed all three of Tampa Bay's sessions, but it appears as though he was simply receiving routine rest to account for his knee injury. The veteran pass rusher managed 9.5 sacks during the regular season, and his ability to provide pressure will be vital for the Buccaneers' defense versus Drew Brees and the Saints' excellent O-line.

  • Listed as DNP

    Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul has been battling knee problems throughout the regular season but hasn't missed a game. The 32-year-old has posted impressive numbers this season so far, racking up 55 tackles (35 solo), 9.5 sacks, two interceptions, six pass breakups and four forced fumbles, and hopefully will be able to suit up for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Saints.

  • Ready to face Washington

    Pierre-Paul (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card matchup in Washington.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul received his customarily capped practice reps to begin the week before logging a limited session Thursday, but there was never any real doubt about the veteran pass rusher's availability. He'll look to provide pressure against either Alex Smith (calf) or Taylor Heinicke.

  • Assumes spot on injury report

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul is consistently limited or absent altogether for the first practice to start the week. The veteran linebacker didn't miss a game in the regular season, racking up 55 tackles, 9.5 sacks, six pass breakups and two interceptions. Barring a setback, Pierre-Paul should be available for Saturday's wild-card matchup against Washington.

  • Will suit up Sunday

    Pierre-Paul (knee) does not have an injury tag for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: The veteran sat out practice Friday following a pair of limited sessions to begin the week, but he will be able to play, as usual, in the regular-season finale. Tampa Bay has carefully maintained Pierre-Paul's practice regimen throughout the campaign, and it appears to have paid off as he has accumulated 9.5 sacks while playing in every contest this season.

  • Limited to start week

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul's typical maintenance schedule involves starting the week with limited practice reps, so there's not yet any reason for abundant concern regarding his Week 17 availability. The veteran pass rusher hasn't missed a game this season.

  • Not on final injury report

    Pierre-Paul (knee) does not have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: JPP logged limited practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday before sitting out entirely Thursday, which is in line with his typical maintenance schedule. Despite dealing with a balky knee throughout the season, the veteran has played in each of Tampa Bay's 14 contests, registering 9.5 sacks and 50 tackles (31 solo).

  • Held back in practice

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: This has been standard procedure for the veteran edge rusher this season, but he has suited up every week, registering 9.5 sacks through 14 games. Pierre-Paul should be in the lineup Saturday against the Lions barring an unforeseen setback.

  • Sheds injury tag

    Pierre-Paul (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul didn't practice Friday, but it appears that the cap on his reps this week was due to maintenance, as usual. The veteran pass rusher has put together back-to-back games with a sack, and he'll look to keep his momentum up against Matt Ryan and the Falcons.

  • Limited again

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul has now logged back-to-back limited sessions to begin the week, correcting an initial report which stated that he sat out entirely Wednesday. In any case, the Buccaneers have regularly managed Pierre-Paul's practice reps this season, so there's not yet any reason to worry about his Week 15 availability.

  • Missed practice Wednesday

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul continues to manage the knee issue, but it's concerning that the veteran was completely sidelined Wednesday. It still seems likely that the Pierre-Paul will be all clear for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but expect his practice status the rest of the week to paint a clearer picture of his chances to suit up. Anthony Nelson would be in line for the start at outside linebacker in Week 15 should JPP miss action.

  • Cleared despite lack of practice

    Pierre-Paul (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Adam Caplan of Sirius XM Radio reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul has been cleared to play despite failing to practice Friday following a pair of limited sessions. It's fair to wonder whether JPP's lingering knee issue will limit him on game day, though it hasn't slowed him down much thus far this season; he already has 8.5 sacks, having reached that mark for the fourth consecutive campaign.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul shook off his nagging knee issue to record his third sack of the last five games, which also enabled him to tie the 8.5 quarterback takedowns he posted last season. The veteran pass rusher has hit at least that mark in four consecutive campaigns, making him one of the more consistent IDP options in any front seven around the league.

  • Ready for Week 12

    Pierre-Paul (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul continues to be limited in practice and occasionally sits out entirely, but he's played in every game this season. The veteran typically plays around 90 percent of the snaps on defense. He's produced 44 tackles, 7.5 sacks, four pass breakups, three forced fumbles and two interceptions. He does it all for the Buccaneers, providing an appealing floor for fantasy managers.

  • Limited at Wednesday's practice

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 31-year-old has been on the injury report all season as he manages the knee issue, so seeing him limited to begin the week is business as usual. Pierre-Paul has yet to receive an injury designation this season, and there's no reason to suspect that will change for Week 12.

  • Disruptive night in loss

    Pierre-Paul recorded six tackles (four solo), an interception and an additional defensed pass in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Rams on Monday night.

    Analysis: The veteran edge rusher wreaked havoc on Jared Goff early in the second quarter, picking off a pass intended for Darrell Henderson in the left flat and returning it 15 yards to the Rams' 22-yard line. While the Buccaneers could only parlay the excellent field position into a field goal, the pick was Pierre-Paul's latest impact play in a season that's now seen him record 7.5 sacks, two total interceptions, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He'll look to help the Tampa Bay defense…read more

    Analysis: The veteran defensive end continues to manage the knee issue by limiting his practice reps each week, but it has yet to impact his availability for gamedays.

  • Managing practice reps

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

The veteran was strong in last week's win over the Panthers, racking up three tackles, a sack and an interception. If Pierre-Paul suffers a setback leading up to the game, Anthony Nelson would be in line to draw the start at outside linebacker.

    Pierre-Paul recorded three tackles (two solo), a sack, a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 46-23 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul continues to be a dominant pass rusher, and he's racked up 7.5 sacks through 10 games. He notched his first interception since the 2013 season as well. It was a well-rounded ceiling effort by Pierre-Paul, but his floor is still solid, as he's averaging 3.8 tackles per contest.

  • Productive in lopsided defeat

    Pierre-Paul posted seven tackles (five solo) and defensed a pass in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

    Analysis: The veteran pass rusher continues to serve as one of the Buccaneers' most consistent IDP assets, with Sunday night's contest featuring his second straight seven-tackle tally and third of at least six this season. Pierre-Paul couldn't get to Drew Brees on Sunday night, but he also has contributed at least one sack in six of nine contests. The 11-year pro will look to take down Teddy Bridgewater in a Week 10 divisional clash against the Panthers.

    Pierre-Paul (knee) registered seven tackles (five solo), including one sack and an additional tackle for loss, in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Analysis: The veteran pass rusher had promised to figuratively go after "the necks" of those on his former Giants squad Monday night, and true to his pledge, he put together an impressive performance. Pierre-Paul tied multiple teammates for the lead in tackles on the night while posting a sack for the third time in four games.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul didn't practice Saturday, but that appears to have been for precautionary reasons, as he'll suit up for an eighth straight game.

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul was listed on the injury report throughout the week leading up to Week 6 also, so it appears the team could elect to manage the veteran's practice reps throughout the year. The 2010 first-round pick was solid in Sunday's win over Green Bay, supplying six tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks. If Pierre-Paul was forced to miss any game time due to injury, Anthony Nelson would be in line for a start at outside linebacker.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul has continued to produce this season, racking up four tackles (three solo), a sack and a forced fumble during Thursday's loss to Chicago. It's unclear when the veteran suffered the injury, but the coaching staff could've elected to give him some time off.

  • Ready to face Bears

    Pierre-Paul (knee) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's game in Chicago.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul had his practice reps limited this due to a lingering knee issue, which has proved the norm this season, but he was a full participant Wednesday. The veteran linebacker recorded a sack in each of his first three games this season, but he was unable to bring down Justin Herbert in Week 4. He'll look to get back on track versus Nick Foles and the Bears.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Pierre-Paul (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Broncos.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul was a full participant in Friday's practice and will aim to keep his sack streak alive, as he's recorded a sack in four straight games -- and has tallied seven total sacks in that span -- dating back to last season. The Broncos will have a new look with Jeff Driskel under center, and he was sacked six times over 63 snaps in Week 2.

  • Trending in right direction

    Pierre-Paul (knee) is practicing Friday and is expected to suit up in Denver on Sunday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul received a veteran day off at Thursday's practice, so it doesn't look as though he suffered any setbacks in his recovery from a knee injury. The 31-year-old has notched a sack in back-to-back contests, and he'll look to keep that streak up against Jeff Driskel on Sunday.

  • Downgraded Thursday

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul was able to take the field in some capacity Wednesday, but as evidenced by this news, he could have aggravated the injury. The 31-year-old has had a strong start to the season, racking up seven tackles (five solo) and two sacks through the first two games. If Pierre-Paul is sidelined Sunday, Anthony Nelson could be in line to draw the start at outside linebacker.

  • Gets to QB in Week 1

    Pierre-Paul recorded three tackles (two solo), including one sack and another assisted tackle for loss, in the Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran pass rusher was up to his usual exploits right from the jump, wasting no time recording his first sack of the season after having secured a new two-year, $27 million deal from the Buccaneers this offseason. Pierre-Paul figures to once again serve as an integral part of coordinator Todd Bowles' attacking front seven after recording 8.5 QB takedowns in just 10 games last season.

  • Scheduled rest day

    Pierre-Paul missed Wednesday's practice due to a scheduled maintenance day, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: The veteran underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in late June, but he's been with the team every step of the way since training camp opened. After notching 8.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 10 appearances in 2019, Pierre-Paul will once again open 2020 in a starting role on the edge.

  • Will be ready for padded practices

    Pierre-Paul (knee) will be ready to fully participate in padded practices when they begin later this month, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The veteran pass rusher underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in late June, and at that point it was predicted he'd be ready for the start of training camp. While that prognosis may have proven a tad ambitious had camp begun under normal protocols, the delay in the start of padded sessions this year due to the unique format necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic apparently will buy Pierre-Paul enough time to be a full participant from the jump.

  • Recovering from knee surgery

    Pierre-Paul had arthroscopic surgery on his knee last Friday, with an estimated recovery timeline of three or four weeks, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: The Bucs expect their 31-year-old pass rusher to be ready for the start of training camp, entering the first season of a two-year, $27 million contract. Pierre-Paul missed the first six weeks of last season with a neck injury, but he piled up 8.5 sacks over the final 10 games.

  • Staying with Tampa

    Pierre-Paul is re-signing with Tampa Bay on a two-year, $27 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With fellow outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett getting a franchise tag, the Bucs are hoping continuity will allow for a reprisal of their success on defense during the second half of the 2019 campaign. Pierre-Paul was a significant part of that equation with 8.5 sacks and 16 QB hits in 10 games after missing the first six weeks of the season due to a neck injury suffered in a car accident.

  • Shines in injury-shortened season

    Pierre-Paul, who compiled four tackles, including two sacks, a pass defensed and a forced fumble in the Week 17 overtime loss to the Falcons, finished the 2019 season with 27 tackles (24 solo), 8.5 sacks, two defensed passes and two forced fumbles across 10 games.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul defied the odds in 2019, as the start of the season saw him still well within his recovery from a fractured vertebrae suffered in a May 2 automobile accident. The veteran defensive end eventually was able to return to practice in mid-October and made his season debut in Week 8 against the Titans, managing a knee injury later in the season but not missing any more contests than the initial six he sat for to open the campaign. Pierre-Paul finished with a flourish, racking up five of…read more

  • Racks up three sacks in loss

    Pierre-Paul recorded four tackles, including three sacks, in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

    Analysis: The veteran defensive end put together a vintage performance after a so-so first eight games of his campaign. Pierre-Paul almost matched his entire sack total of 3.5 for the season at the expense of the Texans, and Saturday's dominant performance was undoubtedly key to giving Pierre-Paul some momentum as he heads back into the open market this coming offseason. The 30-year-old will look to put together a strong finish to a season that began with rehabilitation from a serious neck injury when he…read more

  • Logs limited practice

    Pierre-Paul (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday, so Thursday's limited session is certainly a step in the right direction. The 30-year-old will have one more opportunity to practice in full ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Falcons. Pierre-Paul has handled over 60 defensive snaps in three straight contests, so the Buccaneers could opt to lessen the veteran's workload Week 12 in order to keep him healthy.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Pierre-Paul didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul apparently sustained the injury during last Sunday's loss to the Saints, though he played nearly every defensive snap. The 30-year-old certainly doesn't need significant practice reps in order to play, but he'll likely need to practice at some point this week to have a legitimate chance of facing the Falcons on Sunday.

  • Could see less work Week 10

    Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that he's hoping to lessen Pierre-Paul's snap count against the Cardinals on Sunday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul played an impressive 72 defensive snaps during Week 9's overtime loss to the Seahawks. As the veteran linebacker missed the first six games of the season while recovering from a serious neck injury, it's not surprising that the Buccaneers are considering taking a more cautious approach to his snap count. While Pierre-Paul is a valuable asset on defense even if limited, a lessened workload would bring down his IDP value.
