Re: Colston and Byrd on PUP

Unable to Perform (PUP). There's the Active/PUP and the Reserve/PUP. Both PUP classifications are for football-related injuries.

The Active/PUP (Preseason PUP list) allows players who are unable to start training camp the ability to sit out until the medical staff provides clearance. Once they are medically cleared, they're allowed to practice immediately.

Second, there's the Reserve/PUP (regular season PUP list). Any player starting on the Active PUP list (and has not practiced) with the team becomes eligible for the Reserve/PUP at the end of training camp.

Once a player practices during training camp, all PUP list options are off the table.

Now a new rule change to the Reserve/PUP definition

Commencing on the day after the conclusion of the sixth regular season weekend (October 15) and continuing through the day after the conclusion of the 11th regular season weekend (November 19), clubs are permitted to begin practicing players on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform for a period not to exceed 21 calendar days. Pads and helmets are permitted during the 21-day period. At any time during the 21-day practice period, or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the day after the conclusion of the 21-day period, clubs are permitted to restore such players on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform to their Active/Inactive List.

In other words you can place your key players with IR history on the PUP list till the 11th week. Just in time for the playoff run. Giving that player time to be at game speed for the playoffs. I see this a a profit margin rules change.

He played well in the first game and made an immediate impact. Which is why we got him. He will be good if he gets healthy but it's not looking too promising.

These contracts should be contingent on weather or not they stay healthy. If they can't play say a minimum of 3-5 games then their should be a minimum they get knocked down to until they play again. If they make it past 5 games healthy then the minimum is voided and they get their full contract. It protects the team and the player.

PUP list doesn't matter until the season rolls around... just giving these guys more rest, NBD.

Re: Colston and Byrd on PUP

Didn't Payton say the exact same thing about Victor Butler roughly a day before he got sent to IR?
