Lions place DE Austin Bryant on PUP among roster moves to start training camp

The Lions made some roster moves as the rookies and injured players report for training camp

No, this is not a duplicate report…

Austin Bryant will begin the Detroit Lions 2021 training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. It’s the second season in a row where Bryant lands on the PUP list before the year starts. He ended the 2020 season playing through a thigh injury, one unrelated to the pectoral injury that sidelined him earlier in the season. The 2019 fourth-round pick from Clemson has been healthy for just 10 games in two seasons.

The team made a couple of other roster moves as the rookies and injured players report for training camp.

Undrafted rookie wide receiver Javon McKinley was placed on the non-football injury list. McKinley was a full participant in the team’s minicamp in June. Another UDFA, offensive lineman Evan Heim, was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Training camp commences on Wednesday in Allen Park.
