The Detroit Lions start training camp with three players placed on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list, including both starting safeties, Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch. Yahoo Sports and The Athletic report that Joseph and Branch are among the players who will not be able to practice initially. The Athletic also identifies Tyler Conklin as the third player on the PUP list. Under the PUP designation, players who remain on the list at the start of the regular season must miss at least the first four games, according to The Athletic. The outlets describe the practical effect as a guaranteed minimum absence if the players are not cleared to return by the time the regular season begins. The reporting focuses on the team’s roster moves entering camp and the league rules governing PUP status, rather than providing details on the underlying injuries or timelines beyond the minimum-games provision.
