Joe Flacco among 3 Jets placed on PUP list

The Jets have placed three players on the PUP list and one player on the NFI list.

The New York Jets have a handful of players who are not ready for training camp just yet.

The team announced Thursday that placed QB Joe Flacco (neck), TE Ryan Griffin (ankle rehab) and LB Avery Williamson (ACL rehab) on the Physically Unable to Perform list. The Jets also placed TE Daniel Brown on the Non-Football Injury list.

Of the three players placed on the PUP list, Flacco is the only one not expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. He got offseason neck surgery and probably will not be able to hit the practice field until September. Flacco signed a one-year deal with the Jets worth $1.5 million this offseason.

Griffin injured his ankle in Week 14 last season against the Dolphins and was placed on injured reserve. Griffin received a three-year extension worth $10.8 million before the injury, though. He and Chris Herndon are projected to be the two starting tight ends for the Jets in 2020.

Williamson is coming off a torn ACL that he suffered last preseason. He should be in the mix for the starting linebacker job alongside C.J. Mosley.

As for Brown, he re-signed with the Jets on a one-year deal in February.
