News

  • Available Thursday

    Pierre-Paul (shoulder/finger) is active for Thursday's game against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul carried a questionable designation heading into Thursday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through his broken finger once again. He racked up three tackles (two solo) against the Dolphins in Week 5.

  • Questionable again

    Pierre-Paul (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Eagles, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul was also listed as questionable for Week 5 against Miami due to his broken finger, but he played through the issue and handled 75 percent of defensive snaps. The veteran has expressed confidence that he can keep playing through the issue, so it appears that he's trending in the right direction for Thursday night.

  • Dealing with broken finger

    Pierre-Paul has been playing through a broken finger recently, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul was back in action Sunday after he missed two weeks with a shoulder injury, but he's still dealing with a finger issue. However, he seems confident that he'll be able to play through the injury. The 32-year-old was on the field for 76 percent of the Buccaneers' defensive snaps against the Dolphins, and he recorded three tackles (two solo).

  • Ready to go

    Pierre-Paul (shoulder/hand) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul missed two consecutive games with the injuries, but he'll make his return against the Dolphins. He should be projected to take on a major role along the Buccaneers' defensive line. In two games this season, Pierre-Paul has recorded nine tackles and one pass defended.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Pierre-Paul (shoulder/hand) is listed as questionable on the Bucs' injury report ahead Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul will take a designation into the weekend, despite head coach Bruce Arians previously saying that the veteran edge rusher will be available Sunday. Joe Tryon-Shoyinka has played well in Pierre-Paul's absence, but Tampa Bay certainly would like to have the latter back as soon as possible.

  • Will be active Sunday

    Pierre-Paul (shoulder) will be available for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul is set to make his return after missing two straight contests due to the shoulder injury. Joe Tryon-Shoyinka recorded two sacks in the veteran's place in Week 4, but Pierre-Paul will likely assume his starting role in Week 5. The 32-year-old had nine tackles and one pass deflection through the first two games of the season.

  • Ruled out for Week 4

    Pierre-Paul (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. He was expected to be a game-time decision, but the Buccaneers will elect to be cautious and sit the veteran for a second straight week. Joe Tryon-Shoyinka will likely continue to see an increased role during Pierre-Paul's absence.

  • Upgraded to questionable

    Pierre-Paul (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Patriots and figures to be a game-time decision, Carmen Vitali of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul was previously considered unlikely to play Sunday, so he appears to be trending quickly in the right direction. Still, his final status will depend on how his shoulder is feeling during pregmae warmups. If he is ultimately unable to go, look for Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to again see increased snaps in his absence.

  • Unlikely to play Week 4

    Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that he doesn't foresee Pierre-Paul (shoulder) playing Sunday in New England, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul opted to take the advice from team doctors and sit out Week 3, and it appears that he will be sidelined for at least one more week. Joe Tryon-Shoyinka played 49 defensive snaps in his absence against the Rams and totaled two tackles and one pass deflection. If Pierre-Paul does sit out, Tryon will likely see a similar workload again in Week 4.

  • Won't travel with team

    Head coach Bruce Arians said that Pierre-Paul (shoulder) will not travel with the team this weekend, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: After receiving a second opinion on his injured shoulder, Pierre-Paul was recommended to rest for the Buccaneers' Week 3 game against the Rams. The 32-year-old will take the advice from team doctors and sit out. Rookie first-round pick Joe Tryon is likely to draw his first career start at outside linebacker opposite Shaquil Barrett.

  • Appears likely to sit out Week 3

    Pierre-Paul, who didn't practice Wednesday, recently received a second opinion on his injured shoulder and was recommended to rest for the Buccaneers' Week 3 game against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has yet to officially comment on Pierre-Paul's status for Sunday's game, but the edge rusher is expected to heed advice from doctors and sit out. If that's the case, rookie first-round pick Joe Tryon could be on tap for his first career start at outside linebacker opposite Shaquil Barrett.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Head coach Bruce Arians said that Pierre-Paul (shoulder) was held out of Wednesday's practice and is considered day-to-day, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The extent of the injury is unknown, but it's possible that Arians is just giving Pierre-Paul another day off for rest like he did last week. The 32-year-old played 59 snaps in the Week 2 win over the Falcons and registered three tackles and one pass deflection.

  • Doesn't practice Friday

    Pierre-Paul (hand) didn't practice Friday, but he doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official website reports.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul was limited Wednesday and didn't practice Thursday or Friday, but he is expected to suit up Sunday. Coach Bruce Arians said "he's fine" and that his missed practices were just for rest. The 32-year-old played 77 snaps Week 1 and registered six tackles.

  • Not practicing Thursday

    Pierre-Paul (hand) didn't participate at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul was a limited participant at Wednesday's session but was kept off the field Thursday. The veteran pass rusher play in all 16 games last year despite regularly missing practices, so he could still be available for Sunday's matchup with the Falcons even if he also sits out Friday's session.

  • Back on field Monday

    Pierre-Paul returned to practice Monday after a maintenance day off Sunday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The veteran pass rusher already has enjoyed several productive camp practices where he has been busy pestering quarterbacks and knocking down passes. Pierre-Paul's 9.5 sacks over 16 games in 2020 represented his second-highest total in that category since 2014, and he appears primed for another productive IDP season across the stat sheet.

  • 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.

  • Limited practice status

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

    Analysis: The veteran continues to manage the knee issue, so it's not concerning to see him start the week limited. Expect Pierre-Paul to continue to handle his usual starting role at linebacker for Sunday's game against Minnesota, as he's racked up 8.5 sacks through 12 games this season.

  • Records another sack

    Pierre-Paul (knee) recorded four tackles (three solo), including one sack, in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    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

  • Ready for Week 11

    Pierre-Paul (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game versus the Rams.

    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. Pierre-Paul has 38 tackles, 7.5 sacks one interception and three forced fumbles while playing at least 78 percent of defensive snaps in every game this season.

  • Managing practice reps

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

    Analysis: Pierre-Paul has dealt with the knee injury all season but has yet to miss any game action, so it's not time to panic for his status in Monday's game against the Rams.
