It was reported that Cannon lost only 10 lbs. early in treatment and quickly put it back on. Also he never stopped his training regiment of lifting and running threw the entire medical treatments. Reportedly was sick from treatments for only one day after his first treatment. He has been participateing in the conditioning regiment since reporting to camp. but has been restricted from practiceing with the team because of his NFIL classification. The best thing for both his and the teams future is to get him practiceing with the team as soon as the training staff see him fit to do so. By placeing him on the PUP he will be restricted from practeing with the team till at least week six, by that time he will be so far behind the team that their will be virtualy no chance for him to catch up and get on the game day roster. IR'ing him, esentialy takeing him out of the game for over one year may be a major impediment to his future abilities. The best thing is to avoid PUP and IR so he can practice with the team as soon as he is ready, so he can build the muscle memory, become familiar with the mental aspect of the system, and get continuety established with the other starters. The less the team holds him back on his learning curve the more effective he will become. How many good rookies never recover mentaly from that first year on IR ?
