Story summary

Jason Pierre-Paul, a former Giants first-round pick, hinted at his availability for a potential return to the team on X after news emerged that linebacker Brian Burns is likely out for the season due to a torn ACL. Pierre-Paul, who previously played three games with the Buccaneers in late 2025 following nearly two years away from football, tagged the Giants' official account saying, "What’s up?" Pierre-Paul earned an All-Pro selection and participated in two of his three Pro Bowl appearances during his eight seasons (2010-2017) with the Giants. He won Super Bowls with both the Giants in 2011 and the Buccaneers in 2020. Burns injured himself in the fourth quarter of the Giants' recent 12-7 victory against the Titans, exacerbating an already existing sprained left ankle sustained earlier in a game at SoFi Stadium.
