… there’s no reason not to put him on the PUP List. It’s basically automatic, whether he’s expected to be out for a day or three months.
Not dismissing Bellinger’s quad as NBD. Just saying PUP doesn’t tell us much.
Agreed, plus if they think he might be out a few days or more they can have another body on board without being over the limit. Seems pretty standard though I don't like seeing a possible COG missing time, especially a rookie.
..if they sign a vet w/experience and contract demands that looks like more than a camp body.
Would be nice if somebody in the media would push Schoen to reveal whether or not he and the other new faces have faith in the Timex/Metlife turf performance.
Maybe he has some lingering issue
Rather him be ready early august. Sure. He needs reps but big picture, get him healthy
Especially if it’s a muscle pull that just needs a little time
Wasn't he working out with Jones and some other receivers?
I thought players on PUP counted against the 90. Maybe not. The bigger motivation to put them on PUP at the start of camp is to preserve eligibility for regular-season PUP, just in case they still haven't made it onto the field by September.
outlook, this gives Allen or Miller a better chance at making the roster as a 3rd TE but now becoming a 2nd if they show promise during the summer camp. I sometimes hate the fact that UDFA's are given such little respect to make the roster, to me it's a good opportunity for one of these two to step up and then make the team.
TE is a difficult position to learn, there aren't a lot of practices, and therefore not a lot of practice reps. If he misses much practice time he's going to fall behind. That would suck. But it hasn't happened yet. Once it does, then it'll be something to get worked up about.
The New York Giants have placed rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger of the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list with a quad injury. That means Bellinger will not be on the field when training camp opens next week.
Rookies reported to training camp on July 19, and the complete squad will report on Tuesday, July 26. The first practice will be Wednesday at Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
Bellinger, a fourth-round pick out of San Diego State, had an impressive spring while working almost exclusively with the first-team offense.
No word on how Bellinger sustained the injury. Bellinger can be activated from PUP at any point between now and the beginning of the season.
deep at the TE position!
Hahaha - exactly what I was thinking...
Nope not that I remember.

Where did they hold practices during the spring? Could there be a problem at the training camp facility?
One of the reasons I follow very little of preseason save for preseason games

Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit

As long as that is short for quadriceps and not quadriplegic, he will probably be Ok.
Don't even say Achilles!
This made me laugh outloud
On another promising front, no other rookie on PUP to start camp, which means Kayvon Thibodeaux will be ready to go. #Giants
We’ll learn about veterans when they report Tuesday. First practice Wednesday.

If it’s truly a quad, he’ll be good to go by Aug 15.
That's right up there with Bill in Utah's caustic comment about our LT 'making good progress' in his rehab from ankle surgery gawp ugh
No
Maybe time for a change...

It's football. Guys get dinged.

Hopefully Bellinger heals up quickly and doesn't miss much time as rookies need to soak up a lot during their first summer.
I think you mean there is nothing to see from our Tight Ends.
And now even less...
