NFL Puts Multiple Players on 2025 PUP List

Several NFL players, including New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas and running back Eric Gray, as well as New York Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson and wide receiver Irvin Charles, have been placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list ahead of 2025 training camps. Thomas is recovering from Lisfranc surgery, and the Giants hope he may return by Week 1. Johnson, recovering from a torn Achilles, and Charles, recovering from a torn ACL, both face uncertain timelines, though Johnson is optimistic about being ready for the season opener. These roster moves reflect a league-wide trend of prioritizing player health and long-term readiness over early-camp participation. The Jets' linebacker Aaron Smith, previously noted, is no longer mentioned among the affected players. Contract and previous season snap count details for the Jets players have also been omitted.
