I think teams are using the PUP tag more often than ever to just keep thier most important players off the field instead of risking injury during the mostly meaningless preseason games for the veterans that everyone knows are locks for the team.
Is it more for an actual injury anymore or really for protection to avoid a potential 'future' injury in the next preseason game or two.
Why not just say that the player is not injured but kept off of the field because of risk to injury,or is that not an acceptable excuse in the league?
I do not really understand why the PUP is tagged on a player that just about everyone knows can play as normal in a preseason game,every media source says Seymour and other stars on the team are fine but withheld because of risk of injury,why the PUP tag?.
