Starting camp on the PUP list is not necessarily a big deal. It generally means that a player is beginning camp injured an unable to practice. If a player gets injured on day one, he is in the same spot. He just doesn’t get the PUP designation.
During camp a player can come off the list at any point he is ready and able to practice. If a player is still on the list at the end of the preseason, the team has a decision to make. Any player who is on the PUP list at the start of the regular season must remain there for at least six weeks.
That is a long way off, though. All indications are that the Jets expect these players to be ready to contribute in camp.
