JASON PIERRE-PAUL NEWS

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 meet the formidable challenge of Patrick Mahomes and his arsenal of weapons in a Week 12 interconference battle against the Chiefs.

Ready for Week 11 Pierre-Paul (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game versus the Rams.

Impact 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.

Impact 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. 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.

Nabs first pick since 2013 Pierre-Paul recorded three tackles (two solo), a sack, a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 46-23 win over the Panthers.

Impact 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.

Impact Pierre-Paul has dealt with a knee injury nearly all season, but he hasn't missed any time and has played at least 78 percent of the defensive snaps each week. There isn't any real concern about his status for this Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, and he'll look to add to the 35 tackles and 6.5 sacks he's registered through nine games.

NOVEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

Impact The veteran has been a limited participant at practice to start each of the last three weeks before playing Sunday, so this news isn't quite surprising. Pierre-Paul will look to add to his 6.5 sack total in Sunday's game against the Saints. If the 2010 first-round pick suffers a setback, however, Anthony Nelson would be in line for an increased workload.

Impact 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. The 31-year-old is now up to 6.5 sacks on the campaign, and his tackle tally Monday night vaulted him over his 2019 total of 27.
