Who starts on the PUP list?

by GoHorse88 on Jul 30, 2009 11:53 PM EDT

Last night on NFL Network they had Polian on to discuss Michael Vick (see here). He mentioned that 7-9 players would be start training camp on the PUP list. So I've decided to try and figure out who they are. I believe some of these were said to be expected for training camp, but that may be the reason for the variance.

Debate away!

1. Joseph Addai - Knee

2. Marlin Jackson - Knee

3. Mike Hart - Knee

4. Charlie Johnson - Pectoral

5. Steve Justice - Back

6. Adam Vinatieri - Hip

7. Sam Giguere - Leg

8. Bob Sanders - Knee???

9. Ryan Lilja - Knee

GO HORSE!!!!!

I'll take the oppertunity to talk about the PUP rules

since I had to look them up for myself and others last year and I had already forgotten key points of them earlier in the offseason.

2 PUP lists. Active and Reserve.

Active PUP players can’t practice or play, a player can’t be put on the active PUP list after he has practiced in training camp or played in preseason. On day one of camp every player than will be on either PUP list will be on the list, since players can’t be added if they start camp on the active roster. Active PUP list players count against the roster limits.

The Reserve PUP list starts when the season opens. Any player on the active PUP list at that time has to be put on the active roster or reserve PUP list. Reserve PUP list players have to sit out the first 6 games of the season. You can’t go on the reserve PUP list if you weren’t on the active PUP list.

That's big talk for a little guy,
but I'm walkin' without reply.

Do reserve PUP players

count against the 53 man roster limits or any roster limits?

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: The World Series of Poker is finally back on ESPN starting this week (Tuesday nights). To commerate the event, here's a video of my favorite poker player at his best.

active PUP players count against the TC/preseason limits

reserve PUP players don’t count against the final 53 man roster limit.

You think you notice most everything around you, but in reality you're nearly blind to everything outside of your current focus. Hilarious example.

This is a great question - here are my guesses

Sanders, Hart
Lilja

I guess I owe some Dr. Blue reports for Vinatieri and Addai, whose offseason surgeries were a bit of surprise…

How can you not love a team that does this?

Hart

Hart will go on PUP and stay on it. After week 6 they will see where he is. That would be my guess.

Man oh man

Am I ever sick of injuries. I’m sick of our best players being unable to put on pads. Last year was worse though, with Freeney on the PUP and wondering if he’d ever get back to full speed.

I thought Marlin was quoted as saying he was good to go?

A player may think they're good to

And that’s half the battle sometimes, but trainers and other staff may want to be cautious.

Official - 6 players on PUP

http://www.indystar.com/article/20090731/SPORTS03/90731039/1100/New+titles++same+roles+for+Colts+coaches

Bob Sanders (knee), cornerback Marlin Jackson (knee), place-kicker Adam Vinatieri (hip and knee), offensive lineman Charlie Johnson (shoulder), defensive tackle Antonio Johnson (knee) and wide receiver Sam Giguere (leg).

Mookie is a surprise and Mike Hart not being on there is DEFINITELY a bigger surprise.

Mookie is a big surprise.

I can’t believe Hart isn’t there. And what’s with Vinitieri’s knee?

Hart's not on there???

So that means he can take part in training camp, right?

it means he will

if they thought there was any chance he wouldn’t practice the first day, he’d be put on the list to keep the option of shelving him for the first 6 weeks open.
