Jason Pierre-Paul is reportedly planning to visit the New York Giants on Tuesday following the team’s big Monday night tilt against NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles.
Jay Glazer of Foxsports has the report, and he says Pierre-Paul is “hoping to play” but that there are still “hurdles to get through” toward that end.

Back on Oct. 6, Bob Glauber of Newsday reported Pierre-Paul could potentially come back this year and play for the Giants in the final month of the season.
Pierre-Paul damaged three digits on his hand — part of his thumb, his entire index finger and a portion of his middle finger. There have been many, and varying, reports about his potential availability for the Giants this year.
For a while after his unfortunate July 4th fireworks mishap, Pierre-Paul avoided contact with the team, to the point where co-owner Steve Tisch called the lack of communication “very frustrating.” Since then, the star defensive end has been more cooperative with the team, and there remains a chance he could play for New York in 2015.
This latest reported visit should shed more light on this ever-evolving situation.
