Are the PUP guy eleigible to return AFTER this week? This is the 6th week.
Has anyone heard anything on their progress health wise?

They are eligible to practice any time after week 6 and before week 9. Once they return to practice they have another three weeks in which to be added to the roster (by week 11 at the latest) or placed on IR.

I think the assumption is both will be ready to return to practice within the next three weeks but I haven't heard anything specific about either.

Does anybody know for sure if it's after the sixth game or sixth week that a player is eligible to return off PUP? I recall that it was discussed here during TC, but I don't remember the answer.

Sixth GAME, not week. We have another week untill they can go onto the field with the team.
