It's still not clear if Jason Pierre-Paul will be playing against the Buccaneers on Sunday, but if he does suit up, he'll be wearing a unique glove on his right hand. 

The Giants medical team has designed several gloves so far and Pierre-Paul is experimenting with them to figure out which one he likes best. 

Each experimental glove only has four fingers because Pierre-Paul's right index finger was amputated shortly after he was injured in a fireworks accident on July 4.

JPP spent almost four months away from the team after the injury happened before returning this week to sign an incentive-laden one-year deal.  

Pierre-Paul has been practicing all week, however, he's still not sure if he's going to be allowed to play. 

"I don't know, it’s up to the medical staff," Pierre-Paul said on Wednesday. "I want to play. But it's up to the medical staff; like I said, they're taking me slowly."

Giants coach Tom Coughlin said on Thursday that Pierre-Paul needs to get comfortable wearing whatever he decides to wear on his hand.  

"These are the things that have to be worked through," Coughlin said. "What he wears on the hand, how we can adjust that to make him more comfortable, how he can use it."

The Giants could really use Pierre-Paul this week. Even if JPP isn't a 100 percent, there's a good chance he'll be able to help a Giants defense that's currently ranked dead last in the NFL.
