I know Gilmore is out for the first 6 games. My question is, when can he come back and practice? I know the IR guys can practice for a couple of weeks before they come off IR, but what about the PUP guys?
What y’all think?
I love this kid. Smart prospect that plays very fast. Silly closing speed. Talker pre snap. Can flow, attack straight line through traffic. Bama recruited him hard!! They wanted him bad and finally got in. He belongs there. Him and Harris will be top 50-64 picksUh oh; we have LBs (H. To’o To’o) catching passes in Tuscaloosa. BB is on edge..
I love Judon & Bentley's look with 9 & 8. I wish they completely relaxed those rules. Let the guys fight it on who gets what.Tight
neal is my favorite guy in this draft! However I think he is off the board way before we pick,
So hypothetically whenever he is healthy enough, he can start to practice. It's just that he can't play in a game until week 7.Ken,I believe they can practice right away. They dont HAVE to- you get x # of weeks
before youre required to. ( can't remember how many)
Gilmore should be activated right away. Id think his quad would be ready to go. Reiss reinforced what ive been saying all along: this is NOT about his contract- hes still recovering. Yes the contract is an issue-but not the reason hes out. Hes been front and center and very vocal in all the meetings,coaching up his teammates and again and again, front and center at the teams charity event. You dont do that stuff if youre holding out.

A player who finishes the preseason still on the PUP list can then be moved to the reserve/PUP list. Such players must sit out the first six weeks of the regular season. At that point, teams have a five-week window in which to allow the player to begin practicing; from the day the player begins practicing, teams have an additional 21-day window in which to decide whether to activate the player to the 53-man roster. If either of those deadlines pass, the player must remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.[1]
He's a freak too
The fact that he was 400 pounds..Other than being 400 lbs, what was impressive? He got no push on that guard and couldn't break free to get over to make a play and then he gave up and kind watched.
To clarify, he can be activated after 6 weeks- then can practice and play. So game 7 is likely his return. But you dont have to activate him right away- you have several weeks after the 6 weeks to activate him or hes lost for the season. Of course Pats would want him right away. But its a great rule change.So hypothetically whenever he is healthy enough, he can start to practice. It's just that he can't play in a game until week 7.
BTW- I agree that the fact he isn't starting the season ISN'T about his contract, but his health. The Pats aren't going to address the contract issue BEFORE Gilmore proves he is healthy. When that happens the issue will be addressed, or maybe the Pats and Gilmore agreed that missing more than a third of the season will mean he will be OK with playing for the $7MM, plus 2-3MM more in incentives (either health or team success oriented.
No you misunderstood my post- or I wasnt clear enough. He cant practice until he gets activated. So right after game 6 he could practice that week and play in game 7I don't think this is correct. They can't practice for 6 weeks (but can take part in team meetings). After 6 weeks the team has a 5-week window for the player to start practicing, and once they start practising the team has a 3 week window to decide whether to activate the player or not.
