That’s a link to nflplayers.com that explains the PUP list from last year’s training camp.

“Players can only be put on the PUP list before the first practice of training camp. If they are not removed from it before the final roster cutdown to 53 players on Sept. 2, they must stay on it for the first six weeks of the season. At any time during Weeks 7-10, they can be activated or work out with the team.

After the first 10 weeks of the season, they must be activated, waived or placed on injured reserve, requiring them to miss the rest of the season.

Any of the PUP players can be taken off the list in training camp once they’re ready to practice.”

Pretty much what Snoop Puppy PUP had, but includes the rule that the PUP can be used only at the start of camp.

Ellis Jr. fears no microphone or notebook.

Gotta love Ellis Hobbs (via reiss_pieces):

Have you spoken to Asante?

“Yeah, I saw him this morning. I said, ‘What’s up?’ to him. Nothing different man. We’re not going to throw a parade or anything like that. It’s business. The business side is over with obviously. Now it’s time to get down to the real business on the field and that’s trying to win ball games.”

Thanks Snoop. So if I recall correctly, Seymour was on the PUP to start camp, which I didn’t think about this morning. It sounds then they wouldn’t necessarily lose Richard for six weeks by leaving him on the PUP temporarily.

from an old article on Curtis Martin going on the PUP

According to NFL rules, a player on the PUP list can’t be cleared to practice until after Week 6. The Jets now have three weeks to decide whether to allow Martin to start practicing. Once he’s cleared to practice, the team would have three weeks from that date to either place him on the active roster or put him on injured reserve and end his season.

so you have weeks 7,8,9 to determine if he can practice (or let him play), if you wait long enough you can stretch the decision out to week 12

I believe the PUP has them out for 6 weeks and they must return by week 10. But if they’re on PUP to start camp and never come off during camp they can come back before week 6.

The Pats should add a new condition to Geno’s contract that if he’s chasing down a Panther from behind, just let him go. We’ll take the touchdown over the injury.

I meant the kind of cipherin’ that Jethro Bodine used to do at his Uncle Jed’s behest, but correction noted anyway.

you should add de to cipherin’ – deciphering means unscramble the mess while ciphering means scrambling the mess to make it hard to understand.

Looks like the Price is right — Christopher Price, that is. I don’t take the subway (it hasn’t come out to the Mack Valley, yet, and I don’t work in Boston) so I rarely see Metro, but that was a nice piece — especially poing No. 6, the special teams, which I thought was a chink in the Pats’ armor last year. In the excitement of victory (yeah, I know it’s only preseason), I forgot that the Pats blocked two frikkin’ field goals! Sweet honey from the rock.
