Patriots place eight players on PUP list, including Stephon Gilmore and Chase Winovich

These players aren’t entirely ready to practice, but they can come off the PUP list at any time.

Training camp is just days away and the New England Patriots are less than two months from hitting the field for a hopeful 2021 season.

For the most part, the Patriots’ roster is healthy and ready for action. ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported that eight players will be opening on the active/physically unable to perform list (PUP) to open up training camp.

CB Stephon Gilmore, OLB Chase Winovich, QB Jarrett Stidham, LB Terez Hall, DT Byron Cowart, ST Brandon King, TE Dalton Keene and WR Devin Smith are on the list.

Gilmore did report to training camp after an uncertain offseason due to contract issues, but he’s still nursing the season-ending quad injury that put him out in 2020. Gilmore alluded to the idea that he’s doing much better and should be ready for the season.

Training camp begins next week.
