The PUP rules are always blurry to me, but I don't think you can put a player on PUP if he's already been practicing and playing. I believe he has to be on PUP from the start of camp.

 

You are correct! As far as to my knowledge of the PUP anyway. I do not believe a player can be put on PUP for the regular season if he has practiced in the preseason.

 

With that said, it might not be a bad idea to IR A.Jax and designate him to return later. He has been hurt a lot and missed a lot of valuable time. 

 

That said, I am not sure we would get away with placing him on IR for cramps. ;)

The only reason I went with Hoover is because of his OL ability as well. God forbid we'd ever need to use him

 

IMO there are better options for the 53 man but he could be put on the PS

I agree with PT...practice Squad for Hoover....depending on what the waiver wire offers.

 

This allows him to work on both sides of the ball.  He was pretty bad on the OL, but maybe playing both sides WILL help his career.

I think he can be put on PUP. HMMM I guess I am wrong...

 

H had cramps relating to his hamstring injury and missing practice.  I thought PUP was an option...

Purifoy needs to make the team.  He is a solid punt returner, an excellent gunner on special teams, and can play CB and S.  Last night, he had 3 solo tackles and a tackle for loss.  He reads plays very well and is good in run support defense.  He crushed a couple guys last night and flipped a receiver on a short route.  He could be a very good kick returner too if given the chance.  He excelled at that at Florida.  He will never make it to the practice squad....some team would claim him immediately to use at special teams and develop into a NFL starting CB.

Thanks to you and Supe for clarifying.  How many players can you put on IR...designated to return?  I think there is a limit.

 

Reitz needs that designation.

IMO Purifoy and Burley made the team last night and Price gets cut.

 

Purifoy has pizzazz....:)  Welcome to the forum. :blueshoe:  :blueshoe:  :blueshoe:  :blueshoe:  :blueshoe:  :fb:  :fb:  :fb:  :fb:  :fb: !!!

IR designated to return?  Only 1.  I'm not sure I'd use that for Jackson at this point.  If they're going to put him on IR I'd just put him on IR.  Could have a much more impactful player like Castonzo, Mathis, Luck etc go down and need an 8-10 week recovery time.  I'd much rather have them back. :D 

 

I like Jackson and think he can be a part of future plans, but for this year he'll likely be buried at the bottom of the depth chart anyway, especially with the limitations he's had in practices and preseason games due to the injury.

lol, fair enough...I'm at work with not much to do so I did a quick search.  If you fancy a long read, here we go:

 

http://www.ninersnation.com/2014/7/18/5914295/nfl-pup-list-rules-injured-reserve-nfi-list-rules-49ers-2014

 

Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) Rules

First, under the NFL Rules, there are two classifications of Physically Unable to Perform (PUP). There's the Active/PUP and the Reserve/PUP. Both PUP classifications are for football-related injuries.

The Active/PUP (Preseason PUP list) allows players who are unable to start training camp the ability to sit out until the medical staff provides clearance. Once they are medically cleared, they're allowed to practice immediately.

For example, 49ers placed draft picks OLB Aaron Lynch and DL Kaleb Ramsey on the PUP list yesterday. If players begin training camp on the PUP list, which is likely -- once the players receive full clearance from the 49ers medical staff, they are eligible to practice. Lynch suffered a hamstring strain in the offseason workout program, while we are unsure of Ramsey's injury. Since they occurred 49ers football activities, they are "football-related injuries".

Last year, Kyle Williams and Kendall Hunter were placed on Active/PUP while they were wrapping up their rehab from their respective ACL and Achilles injuries. Williams practiced 5-days later and Hunter practiced 20-days later. This classification, as the name implies, is reserved for the pre-season.

Second, there's the Reserve/PUP (regular season PUP list). Any player starting on the Active PUP list (and has not practiced) with the team becomes eligible for the Reserve/PUP at the end of training camp. Once a player practices during training camp, all PUP list options are off the table. This is important to note. Both Lynch and Ramsey could be cleared within a day or two of the start of training camp, but starting them on the PUP list leaves it on the table as an option if there is a setback.

If, during the season, a player sustains injury but practiced at camp, the PUP list is not an option. The team can keep the player on the roster, if they believe he will come back that season. But, the injured player is counted against the 53-man roster.

In the alternative, teams must go straight to the Injured Reserve list or waive the player. So, it means the 49ers are extremely cautious about letting any player practice, no matter how good he looks following an injury. When it comes to classifications, the difference is whether or not a player practices. Allowing a player to practice limits the options of the team. It can tie up roster spots and dollars.

It should be noted, ALL player salaries of a team count in calculating that team's total salary cap during the season. This includes players that are on Injured Reserve (IR), Physically Unable to Perform (PUP), and the Practice Squad (PS).

If a player started on the Active/PUP list and isn't medically cleared by the end of the preseason, the 49ers may transfer any Active/PUP player to the Reserve/PUP.

These players are prevented from playing and practicing during the first six weeks of the season. What makes the Reserve PUP advantageous is that any player on the Reserve PUP list does not count against the 53-man roster. If a player isn't activated after the sixth week, the team has a six-week window (day after Week 6 to day after Week 11) to make a decision to: 1.) place the player on injured reserve; 2.) release the player; or 3.) get him back to practice. As soon as the player returns to practice, the team has another three-week window to add the player back to the 53-man roster, or place them on the Injured Reserve list.

For example, NaVorro Bowman is a good candidate to see the Reserve/PUP this year. It buys the team some time to allow the player to resolve their injuries and protects both the players and the team. Bowman could go twelve weeks into the season before he must be practicing again. The team would then have another three weeks (Week 15) to return him to the 53-man roster (according to the new rules). After that point, they can have him as one of the inactive players on game day, but he would still have to be on the 53-man roster. But, the risk is carrying the player for no more than two weeks.

If Bowman is progressing well, the 49ers could activate him as early as week 7 and as late as week 15. Even though Bowman would occupy a spot on the 53-man roster, the 49ers may see this as the best option available. If he is medically able to return for the playoffs, for example, they may be willing to go a man short for a week or two, just to keep that door open.

Good find. Long story short, if you don't start camp on PUP, you can't be placed on PUP later. And it's six weeks, not six games.

I believe only 1 player can be designated to return from IR. 

 

You bring up a good point with Reitz. Tough call, especially if it comes down to needing the roster spot. Might be a tad risky to put A. Jax on the PS.

I totally agree.  I thought it was just 1 for IR.....so yes for a bigger named player not named Jackson :)

says who?  I wouldn't be surprised if they were all submitted last minute

 

They may not release the names, but the players start tweeting and word gets out.

 

The earlier the better for some of the guys that are looking to get picked up by other teams.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By throwing BBZ · Posted

      2006 has that winning 11 games is enough mentality like so many here. Having a SB level right side of our o-line should be priority one. We are far from it.  We need a shutdown corner that can go man on the many great 4.3 running WR's. This simply allows the deep safety to defend everything else. Instead of Ballard sticking him in the middle of the field knowing that one of his slow corners will get beat deep.  We need a LB for development and depth that can cover better.  And yes a 3rd receiver that gets open quick that can take also threaten deep.  With faster, better players on D, Gus could blitz 5 more times a game to get the pressure we need.  I have No Doubt Steichen has taken Ownership, Ballard and his staff to school regarding what we have and what we need.   Pray that 4-5 of our current very young players can become really solid by seasons end. Plus 3-4 really nice draft picks and 2025 and beyond we can be reckoned with.  We need to be amongst the very Best at running the dang ball and pass blocking.   I think if I could move back 5 spots and take Mims at RT and move Smith over that would be great.  Then use the necessary draft capital to get LB Cooper and CB from Rutgers ? Melton.   I would feel really good about our prospects.

      Update: Charges against Drew Ogletree dismissed with prejudice (merge). **Ogletree reinstated pg4 updated**

      I couldn't agree more with the bolded statement.  Once a player is on the team, the only thing his draft position does for him (aside from the money) is maybe give him a little more time to develop.  Mainly because teams are reluctant to admit that their research didn't pan out and they want to see their guy succeed.   As far as defense, I feel the number one responsibility of the GM and the coach is to help the franchise QB be the franchise QB, if you get what I mean.  And until that's proven, if it means sacrificing a need on defense in order to enhance the QB's arsenal, so be it.  But that's just me...

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Yeah I didn’t get the impression he felt a huge need to draft a CB.    He was asked about mentioning YAC guys and he said every team wants them. The Colts have had meetings with the two top YAC guys in the draft - Brock Bowers and Malachi Corley. I absolutely think we’re taking Bowers if he falls to us and I even think we may jump up a couple of picks to land him.    If Bowers gets taken ahead of us I feel pretty certain we’re trading back hoping to land another 3rd rounder.    I didn’t catch if they were talking about draft targets or players already on the roster when they talked about on dimensional guys? My initial thought was Pierce.    I think it’s a given we’re taking at least one Olineman this draft, but that’s not really anything new.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By stitches · Posted

      My guesses based on this presser:   - Ballard will NOT draft a CB in the 1st... maybe at all? Everything he's saying seems to suggest he likes the group we have and he wants to see them play and have a chance to develop. I'm almost certain if Mitchell for example is there at 15... we pass on him... either for trade back or for an offensive weapon... or DE? - Ballard WILL trade back. If not in the 1st... then later in the draft... but most probably in the 1st. IMO he pretty much advertised to his potential customers by telling them how many 1st round grades he has. Teams 19-21 are welcome to call and will receive warm greetings from Ballard. Rams, Steelers, Dolphins?  - He seemed to be talking about a specific someone one dimensional offensive weapon when he was talking about them just having had a meeting about a certain player... about whether them and the coaching staff see the way he can be used the same way... and if they agree on this, IMO this is a potential target for the Colts. The names that come to mind - Brian Thomas Jr and Xavier Worthy... A lot of the other WRs are more well rounded...  - The Colts LOVE the OL class both at the top and in depth. I have seen some OL experts suggest there might be 10 starting centers in this draft... and the OTs class in the 1st is like nothing I've ever seen. Can we draft an OL in the 1st? Doubt it... but absolutely expect a few shots on day 2 and 3.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      We have TWO top 10 tackles in Raimann and Smith though? We need depth, sure, but I hope we’re not looking for depth in the 1st round…
