Buccaneers' Jason Pierre-Paul out Until at Least October with Cervical Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is expected to be out until at least October after suffering a cervical fracture in a car crash last month, regardless of whether the injury requires surgery.

"I would think so, just to be safe and not rush it," Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians told the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud. "And knowing him, he's one of those fast healers, so. I hate to put a time limit on it, but the earlier the better. As long as he's healthy."
