Giants' Pierre-Paul provides suspended Brown with vote of confidence

New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul believes kicker Josh Brown should remain on the team in spite of his one-game suspension.

Brown is sanctioned for the team's regular-season opener due to a violation of the NFL's personal-conduct policy.

Pierre-Paul balked at the suggestion that Brown should be cut from the team due to his suspension Monday.

"I think he's suspended one game," Pierre-Paul said via Seth Walder of the New York Daily News. "It doesn't matter. We're all family around here. People have their own problems they handle. He's still our brother and we look past it. We're going to need him."

The Giants signed kicker Randy Bullock on Monday and waived Tom Obarski in a corresponding move.
