The Indianapolis Colts are just a few weeks away from reporting for training camp at the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield. Players who don’t pass their physicals will start camp on the Active/PUP List.
When a player is placed on the PUP list, they still count toward the 90-man offseason roster. They’re allowed to participate in team meetings, solo conditioning and rehab with the training staff. However, they’re not allowed to participate in practice as long as they remain on the list.
The good news is there is no required length on the Active/PUP list. A player can be placed on the list Monday and be cleared Tuesday. Once a player is cleared, though, they cannot return to the Active/PUP list during training camp.
The other option is the Reserve/PUP list. This would mean a longer recovery time because the player must miss the first four weeks of the regular season. The decision with the reserve list usually comes during roster cuts because a roster spot will open up when a player is placed on this list.
