Multiple NFL Teams Add Key Players to PUP List

Several NFL teams have placed key players on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list as training camps begin, with many moves described as precautionary or procedural by team officials. The Kansas City Chiefs sidelined Jawaan Taylor, Kristian Fulton, and Tre Watson, with optimism for quick returns. The Denver Broncos added A.T. Perry due to an undisclosed injury, but expect his absence to be brief. The Green Bay Packers placed Christian Watson on the list as he recovers from a torn ACL, casting doubt on his Week 1 availability. The New England Patriots placed linebacker Jahlani Tavai and tight end Austin Hooper on the PUP list, while the San Francisco 49ers did the same with safety Malik Mustapha, whose return timeline remains uncertain. Players on the active/PUP list can return at any time before the regular season starts.
