Training camps are getting underway around the NFL, but some teams are already battling big-name injuries. Already we have players being placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, meaning they are ineligible to practice because of injuries suffered prior to camp. Players on PUP during camp can be activated any time up until the season, but if they remain sidelined once rosters are finalized, they are required to miss at least four games.
Here's a rundown of all the notable players placed on PUP thus far:
Arizona Cardinals
TE Maxx Williams (knee): Williams is working his way back after suffering a torn ACL in Week 5 of last season. In 2021, he finished with 16 receptions for 193 yards and a touchdown.
Atlanta Falcons
LB Deion Jones (shoulder): The former Pro Bowler underwent surgery this offseason.
Baltimore Ravens
LT Ronnie Stanley (ankle): Stanley suffered a season-ending ankle injury last October. The 28-year-old blindside tackle is in the middle of a five-year, $112.8 million contract extension he signed back in October of 2020.
OLB Tyus Bowser (Achilles): The 2017 second-round pick underwent surgery back in January to repair a torn Achilles. Last offseason, Bowser inked a four-year, $22 million contract with Baltimore.
RB J.K. Dobbins (knee): Dobbins suffered a torn ACL in Baltimore's final preseason game last summer and erased his second season in the league. He recently disputed that he may not be ready for the start of the 2022 campaign.
RB Gus Edwards (knee): Edwards is another Ravens back still on the mend after and ACL tear took him out of last season. In June of 2021, Edwards agreed to a two-year extension with the club.
