Since everyone else has presumably practiced, is it true that these are the only players eligible for the beginning-of in-season PUP reserve list?

CBS's Arman Katayan was at practice - tweeted this...

"Just realized No. 81 not on field this morning. Will be at afternoon practice. Reason: "It's been a brutal camp so far." First Day 1 joke."

As I recall yes; a player can only be placed on PUP before he starts training camp. That would therefore limit those players above to be eligible for Active PUP. At the end of training camp only players that are on Active PUP are eligible for Reserve PUP (i.e., not eligible to play until after the sixth game.) At that point the team has three weeks to either activate him or place him on IR.

Just because Belichick is having two a day practices doesn't mean

the older players like Moss, Galloway, and Springs won't be excused

quite often from double duty.
