On Thursday, the Tampa Bay Bucs got quite the scare when they found out Jason Pierre-Paul was involved in an accident and was rushed to the hospital.
TMZ reports that the defensive end was not speeding or accused of any wrongdoing, and he was “doing fine” after being released from the hospital Thursday evening.
Via Bucs General manager Jason Licht:
“We have been informed that Jason was involved in a one-car accident early this morning in South Florida in which he was not cited. We know that he was evaluated at a local hospital and has since been released. Our immediate concern is for the safety and well-being of Jason and his passenger. We have been in contact with Jason and will be getting him further evaluated by our medical staff in the near future.”
One year after signing a four-year, $62 million extension, Paul was traded from the New York Giants to the Buccaneers in March 2018. He had 12.5 sacks, 20 quarterback hits and 16 tackles for loss in 16 games in 2018, his highest marks since 2014.
