Can someone answer this:
Would we be able to put Jones on the PUP list and save another receiver spot? If he's out for 3-5 games why not just put on the PUP and have him comeback after week 6. Would he still count against the 53 man roster or can we save someone like Zeigler, Battle, Hill from PS/Cut fodder?
Gotta be injuried before camp to go on the PUP list.
I googled the rule and from what I can tell it just has to be before the 65-man roster cut. I dont think we've made that correct? Is there something else that would prohibit this?
No, you can't get injured in camp and be placed on the PUP.
There are two PUP lists, the active and the reserve. If you show up to camp injured you are placed on the active PUP list, meaning that you can return at any time, later on there is a deadline to be placed on the reserve PUP list, if you're on this list you can't return until I believe week 6 or the regular season. The kicker is that you MUST be on the actuve PUP list before you can be placed on the reserve PUP list.
So, like I said, he's not qualified to be placed on the PUP list.
