When can NFL players return from the reserve/PUP list?

Players who begin the season on the reserve/PUP list have to sit out the first four games of the season before being eligible to return.

When the Denver Broncos set their initial 53-man roster later today, they will have two candidates for the reserve/physically unable to perform list: linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL).

Players who are sidelined with injuries during training camp are eligible for the active/PUP list. Once the regular season begins, those players transition to the reserve/PUP list if they are not yet cleared to play.

Once on the reserve/PUP list, a player must sit out at least the first four games of the season. After four weeks, players have a five-week window to return to practice. Once they return to practice, the player then has a 21-day window to return to the active roster.

If the player does not return to practice within nine weeks, he will spend the entire season on reserve. And if he returns to practice but is not activated within the 21-day window, the player will remain on reserve for the season.

Health permitting, we could see Sanders and Turner-Yell return to the active roster with the Broncos later this season.

Kolton Miller among five Raiders starting training camp on PUP list

Kolton Miller among five Raiders starting training camp on PUP list

The Raiders will begin training camp shorthanded along their offensive line. Tuesday evening the team announced they were placing five players on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to begin camp. Three of whom are offensive linemen. Two are expected starters.

The five are:

LT Kolton Miller
G Jackson Powers-Johnson
G Jake Johanning
WR Jalen Guyton
LB Darien Butler

Expected to line up in place of Miller with the first team at left tackle is new addition Andrus Peat. Lining up with the first team at left guard figures to continue to be Cody Whitehair.

The team also announced the retirement of WR Michael Gallup. Along with Guyton not practicing, that puts the Raiders a tad thin at wide receiver, barring any moves to replace Gallup on the roster.

Raiders rookie G Jackson Powers-Johnson to start camp on PUP list

Raiders rookie G Jackson Powers-Johnson to start camp on PUP list with shoulder injury.

We should get the official word on all Raiders players who will not be practicing to start camp on Wednesday before they take the field. But as of now, we know at least one — Rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson.

The second round pick is dealing with a hamstring injury he suffered in senior bowl practices as well as a supposed shoulder issue that had him miss much of offseason practices.

Powers-Johnson participated some in rookie minicamp and was lining up at left guard. While he suited up for mandatory minicamp in June, he saw only limited action while veteran Cody Whitehair took all the snaps at left guard with the first team.

The rookie’s participation at all in minicamp would seem to indicate that they didn’t think the injury was serious. However, if that were the case, you’d expect he would be ready to go for the start of camp. At least if that were still the injury he was dealing with. For that reason, the Raiders sitting him down for the start of camp isn’t great news.

That being said, there’s a lot of time left. For now he still counts on the 90-man roster and no move would need to be made until the cutdown date on August 27. If he is still not ready, they could place him on injured reserve which would have him out at least the first four games of the season.

But let’s cross that bridge when we come to it.

Vikings place Andre Carter II on physically unable to perform list

After receiving a record guarantee for a UDFA, Andre Carter II was placed on the physically unable to perform list.

The Minnesota Vikings have had a busy day with roster moves and made it busier by placing OLB Andre Carter II on the physically unable to perform list. Earlier on Monday, they signed TE Colin Thompson, waived WR Malik Knowles and placed guard/center Chris Reed on the non-football injury list.

Carter was guaranteed a record (outside of the La’El Collins situation) $340k for an undrafted free agent this April. He has a lot of talent as an edge rusher but is viewed as a long-term play due to having played at Army and training to be both a cadet and a football player.

Carter will be a very intriguing player to watch during training camp, as he possesses a great first step and excellent bend for his size.

Dee Eskridge, Travis Homer expected to be activated off PUP List

Seattle Seahawks rookie receiver Dee Eskridge and running back Travis Homer are expected to be activated off the Seahawks PUP List this week.

The Seattle Seahawks have been battling a number of injuries over the last couple of weeks, but coach Pete Carroll was able to provide some good news after the Seahawks’ 20-7 loss to the Raiders in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

“We should get a real boost this week of guys returning to us,” Carroll said.

Rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge and running back Travis Homer are both expected to be activated off the Seahawks’ physically unable to perform list this week.

Eskridge, Seattle’s highest draft pick this year, has been suffering from a toe injury since the Seahawks’ OTAs earlier this spring.

“We’re going to take the wrapping off of him next week,” Carroll told reporters. “We’re excited to get him back. He looks fantastic in his workouts. He looks great. We’ve got to make sure before he really gets into full-speed action that he’s back and in condition for that, but as far as his power and his strength, all that kind of stuff, he’s back. We’re really looking forward to that.

“Travis Homer is at that same point too. Both of those guys are ready to bounce back next week.”

Homer, now in his third season, has been sidelined with a calf issue.

The Seahawks return to practice Monday, although there is no media availability until Tuesday.

Seahawks rookie WR D’Wayne Eskridge now running without problems

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge is now running without problems but still remains on the PUP list with a toe injury.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge has yet to practice this summer after starting training camp on the team’s physically unable to perform list with a toe injury.

Coach Pete Carroll has been monitoring the situation carefully and providing regular updates on the rookie’s progress.

“He had a really good day again,” Carroll told reporters on Tuesday. “This was the fifth day in a row of him running and conditioning without any problems. That’s a really good sign.”

Eskridge injured his toe earlier in the year during the Seahawks OTAs and hasn’t been able to return to the field since. Carroll sees no reason to rush the first-year player just yet.

“We’re trying to make sure – because he has not been able to run in a conditioning manner over the offseason like we would like – we’re trying to make sure he’s in good shape so once he’s back out here he can sustain,” Carroll explained. “It’s all very positive and he’s going in the right direction.”

Luckily for Seattle, the Seahawks are fairly deep at the receiver position heading into the first preseason game this Saturday in Las Vegas.

D’Wayne Eskridge, Travis Homer placed on Seahawks PUP List

Ahead of the start of training camp, wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge and running back Travis Homer have been placed on the Seahawks PUP List.

The Seattle Seahawks have placed a couple of players on the team’s Physically Unable to Perform List ahead of the official start of training camp on Wednesday. Rookie wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge and running back Travis Homer will both start camp on the PUP List.

Eskridge, Seattle’s highest draft pick in April, had been limited throughout the offseason as he battled a toe issue. Homer had been sidelined with a calf injury.

In addition, the Seahawks also placed undrafted free agent guard Pier-Olivier Lestage on the Non-Football Injury List to start camp. Lestage had undergone surgery this spring to repair a sports hernia and is apparently still on the mend.

The first practice of 2021 training camp is set to kick off this afternoon.

Seahawks activated RB Rashaad Penny, he’ll make season debut Sunday

The Seattle Seahawks activated Rashaad Penny from the PUP list on Saturday and the running back will make his season debut in Washington.

The Seattle Seahawks have waited just over a year for his services, but running back Rashaad Penny has finally been activated to the 53-man roster.

Penny has spent all of 2020 on the Physically Unable to Perform list recovering from his torn ACL. He will make his season debut in Washington this Sunday.

“He looks terrific,” offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday. “He’s looking fast, he’s looking explosive, moving really well, running routes really well. I think he looks as good as you could expect him to. I hadn’t seen him for a while. He’s been working when he came out, started last week, doing different things.

“This week, I think he’s getting close to being ready to go.”

Now that he’s been officially activated, Penny should see some snaps on Sunday.

The Seahawks also activated defensive end Damontre Moore on Saturday. To make room for both, running back Travis Homer (knee) and guard/tackle Jamarco Jones (groin) were placed on injured reserve.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny set to return to practice on Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is set to return to practice on Wednesday after his long stint on the PUP list to start the year.

The Seattle Seahawks have suffered a number of injuries at the running back position this season, similar to last year that saw numerous ball carriers land on the injured reserve.

One of those players, Rashaad Penny, has remained on the Seahawks’ Physically Unable to Perform List as he recovered from his ACL injury.

Coach Pete Carroll gave some good news about the running back on Monday during his interview on 710 ESPN Seattle.

Penny will resume practice on Wednesday.

“I don’t know how these next couple weeks will go for him,” Carroll said. “It will all depend on how he handles the workload and how he feels and all of that. There’s no more he can do in rehab so we’ll find out what that looks like.

“It’s really exciting for him for sure and for all of us to get him back out.”

Penny’s return to the field could possibly help fellow backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde, who still continue to feel the impacts of their earlier injuries this season.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny not yet ready to return to practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is likely still a few weeks away from returning from the physically unable to perform list.

The Seattle Seahawks have seen injuries to nearly every single running back on the roster this season. Carlos Hyde just resumed play after a hamstring injury, Chris Carson is set to return from a sore foot and the team was hoping Rashaad Penny would finally be able to take the practice field . . . but that won’t be the case this week after all.

“They’re not going to let him this week, but we’re getting ready to make the call here with him,” coach Pete Carroll said during his Monday press conference. “He’s very close. I wouldn’t think he’s two weeks away.”

Penny started the year on the Seahawks’ physically unable to perform list (PUP), recuperating from the ACL injury he sustained last season. There is still hope he could see time in 2020.

“There’s a really good chance we might get him next week,” Carroll continued. “He’s really excited about it and feels good about it.”
