Buccaneers' Jason Pierre-Paul has 'jacked up' knee

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman Jason Pierre-Paul says he has a "jacked-up" right knee.

What It Means:

Pierre-Paul is wearing a brace on the ailing knee and admitted he's not sure about his status for Week 2 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The 29-year-old veteran played 48-of-64 snaps in his Buccaneers debut. He is expected to be a key cog in what projects to be an improved pass-rushing group in Tampa Bay.

numberFire's models currently project JPP for 4.2 tackles, 0.5 sacks, 0.3 pass deflections, 0.1 forced fumbles, and 0.1 fumble recoveries in Week 2 if he plays.
