"I would think NFL Indianapolis Colts Jerseys so, just to be safe and not rush it," Arians said. "And knowing him, he's one of those fast healers, so. I hate to put a time limit on it, but Chris Reed Jerseys the earlier the better. As long as he's healthy."

Pierre-Paul suffered a cervical fracture May 2 in a one-car accident in Lenny Moore Jerseys rainy conditionson I-95 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

After consulting with several specialists, Stephon Gilmore Jerseys he initially opted not to undergo neck surgery yet it still remains Curtis Brooks Jerseys an option. Pierre-Paulis expected to be re-evaluated in late July.

Last week, Arians put a six-month timetable onPierre-Paul's recovery, putting him out until December, so Nyheim Hines Jerseys even hinting that JPP could return weeks earlier could be seen as good news.
