McAdoo says the plan for Victor Cruz will be determined after this afternoon's conditioning tests. #Giants
Does this mean Cruz may still start on PUP or just that the outcome of the conditioning tests will determine whether he is limited to one-a-days (do they still have two-a-days?) and/or a "snap-count" for team drills?
Where I object is telling us about every fucking tweak and twist that is no more than part of the job. I agree, if you PUP or IR them, it has to be disclosed..
since they are expected back, what is the practical effect of this
If he didn't say it wasn't serious, the mass hysteria about them keeping things under wraps would ensue and fans would start claiming it had to be serious.

pjcs18 said: "[ More work] for Hughes, Nix, Lewis and Milhouse with top two of the top three DT on the depth chart on PUP." It seems to me that Michael Strahan didn't like to do a whole lot of work before the season started his last couple/few years ... which would mean even MORE work for those jags/journeymen. (Time to bring back marvelous Marvin?)
The minor hurts we don't need to know. What happens are the multitude of obsessing threads about a player which usually amounts to nothing serious. So why tell us UNLESS it needs to be reported. This is opening day so most here won't start obsessing until camp is well underway..We never knew about our favorite players' minor owies until gamedayunder Parcells..
"In his junior year [of high school], Harrison came down awkwardly with a rebound and his knee swelled. He'll never forget the date -- Nov. 29 -- because it was his birthday. It was a torn meniscus, which required surgery -- the first of four operations, two on each knee."
Gather all four of Harrison's knee operations were in high school/college. Don't see any record of problems with the Jets. Have to hope Giants haven't signed on just in time for chronic condition to announce itself. Four for two - ( New Window )

Hasn't that been a trademark for us over the last 3 years?
Not that I'm panicking, but refresh my memory again
but if they can't work today, even if they only need one day off, it makes sense to PUP them. From Wikipedia
Quote:
A player who, as a result of football-related injuries, is unable to take part in training camp practices may be assigned to the preseason PUP list. Players can be moved off the PUP list to the active roster at any time, even after one practice. A player cannot be placed on the PUP list, however, once he has taken the field for a practice, even if only for a few minutes.
So, if you have guys who are dinged as training camp starts, it costs you nothing to put their names on PUP, and it could cost you a lot if those dings linger.

McAdoo said he doesn't consider the injuries to Snacks, Thomas or Bromley to be serious.
How would they hide someone being PUPed?
The designation has to be filed. It will get out, barring reporters failing at their job of reporting, whether the team announces it or not.

Smart move by the Giants.

Baghdad Bob!!
Nice qualifier. Arguably, anything not life-threatening isn't "extremely" serious.

Silver lining is we get to see more of the young guys early.
Football always has dings, bruises, cuts, knicks.
Granted, seeing Snacks name, PUP and knee all in one sentence made me shudder. Ouch!
The main effect is to maintain their eligibility for regular season PUP.
This was beyond ridiculous a year ago.
I don't even know what you call this...."other worldly"??......3 guys to PUP the 1st day.....Really?
Clean the sand out of your panties, I expect Thomas not to have a clue, but geez...

yeah yeah, I know,....can you blame me for being a little over reactive though?
Gonna be positive this year, though. They'll be fine...
Strange would be trying to do that any time after the first day.

On the other hand, if they start to miss weeks...
