How many games does Welker play in 2010?
I think the Pats can go until week 12 before they have to put him on the roster or place him on IR.
My understanding of PUP
Weeks 1- 6
- players can be palced on the PUP list, cannot practice with team
- does not take one of the 53 roster spots
Weeks 6-9
- after week 6 the team has a 3 week period to allow the player to practice with the team
- does not take one of the 53 roster spots
Weeks 10-12
-once the player begins practicing, the team has another three weeks to put the player on the active roster
- once activated player counts against the 53 man roster

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. The Jets now have three weeks to decide whether to allow Martin to start practicing. Once he's cleared to practice, the team would have three weeks from that date to either place him on the active roster or put him on injured reserve and end his season." 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. I think but do not know for sure that players on active-PUP count against the 80-man roster limit and players on reserve-PUP do not.
