- - We're through week 6, Neal? (http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/10/166521-were-through-week-6-neal.html)

We're through week 6, Neal?

Now that we're through wk6 we get to finally find out what's going on (as much as we ever do) with Neal. I seriously hope he makes a quick and full return and can stay healthy because the right side of that line needs the help. or am I wrong on this and because the bye came before wk6 can he not come off PUP until next week?

He can start practicing as of today. He has through Week 9 to start practicing, and then another 21 days after he starts practicing to be activated.

They would either have to take him off PUP or IR him. If they take him off PUP then he has 3 weeks to become active or IR.

Let's hope he is ready to play.

Re: We're through week 6, Neal?

I was under the impression that it's another week - after the team's sixth game (rather than NFL Week 6) - that Neal becomes eligible to be taken off PUP?

No, I think it's the 6th WEEK of the regular season. 6th game seems odd and arbitrary, what if your bye was in week 9? That's a competitive advantage to have a late Bye with a key player on PUP - Does not make sense.

Are you sure pats1?

I started a thread sunday about this and I think it was that pissah guy that
said he can't start parcticing until after PATs 6th game not week 6.
Who knows the facts here? :confused::confused:

this List designates players with serious injuries that will keep them from being able to start a season on the 53-man protected list but may be able to return to the roster during the regular season. The players must be placed on this roster at or before the league-wide 65-man summer roster cutdown to be eligible for this designation, and they must stay on this list for at least the first six weeks of the regular season. After this time teams have 3 weeks to evaluate such players after which each such player must be placed on the 53-man roster, season-ending Injured Reserve (IR) or waivers.

Q:What is PUP??
A: My answer is based on a NFL.Com article on Curtis Martin being placed on PUP in 2006. A player who fails his club's pre-season physical at the start of training camp may be placed on the club's Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. A player on PUP is eligible to receive his salary, but is ineligible for games and practices; he is, however, allowed to attend team meetings. According to the article, "According to NFL rules, a player on the PUP list can't be cleared to practice until after Week 6.

This article from the Browns site seems to confirm this:

Cleveland Browns | Bentley placed on PUP list

Quote:

During the first six weeks of the regular season, players on Reserve/PUP are allowed to attend meetings and continue rehabilitation at the club facility, but are not eligible to practice with the club.

After the sixth week, the club has a three-week window (Weeks 7-9) to allow a player on Reserve/PUP to begin practicing with the club. Once the player begins practice, he can practice for three weeks before the club must make a decision as to his roster status.

At any point following the sixth week of the regular season through the expiration of the player's three week practice window, the club can add the player to the 53-man roster or place the player on Reserve-Injured. Additionally, at the expiration of the practice window, the club can allow the player to remain on Reserve/PUP for the remainder of the season.

I hope this has been of some help.

Q:What is PUP??

A: My answer is based on a Ron Del Duca's Agent Column on
ProfootballTalk.Com and an Michael Fegler article regarding Rosevelt
Colvin. A player who fails his club's pre-season physical at the start
of training camp may be placed on the club's Physically Unable to
Perform (PUP) list. A player on PUP is eligible to receive his salary,
but is ineligible for games and practices; he is, however, allowed to
attend team meetings. For a three (3) week period beginning with the day
after the club's 6th regular season game and ending on the day after the
9th regular season game, a player on PUP may practice with his club
and/or be restored to the club's 53 man roster (provided it is done
before the day after the 9th regular season game). Note that there are
two different types of PUP. Players that land on reserve-PUP are
ineligible to play or practice for the first six weeks of the regular
season. Players on active-PUP can be taken off the list at any point
during training camp. Once a player is taken off active-PUP and returns
to practice, he cannot be placed on reserve-PUP later. Please note that
a player on PUP will count against the cap.
