After doing a little checking, The Packers are not the only teams with guys starting training camp on the PUP list.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/injuries/pup 

Bengals, 49r's, Falcons, and Patriots all have 5 guys listed, this is not a completed list as, in The Packers case, they had yet to officially send their report in.

I know for a fact The Bengals have a minimum of 10 players, for one reason or another, who are not able to make the 1st day of practice.

So even though it's not a good thing to have these guys starting on the PUP, seems it is pretty normal.

My intent when originally posting this article was not to create panic, I was just glad to finally see some current news from TC.

I wonder which of them has a hamstring injury. 🤔

Agreed. I also hope CM3s hang nail doesn't hold him out of anything else.

Yeah Clay was actually a guy I was expected to start on PUP and to my surprise he wasn't. That was a nasty fracture.

I can understand the point, but the reality is the guy has missed too many games recently. I don't view him as very dependable. It sounds a little cold, but it is a business after all. Most NFL injuries are very legit. It doesn't change the fact that they can't help their team win if they are injured and on the bench. The Packers don't seem to have any dependable and available outside linebackers really. Perhaps Julius Peppers?

It is too bad Perry has been far less reliable than Clay...USC hasn't done us many favors in the way of health. It seems like a lot of those guys are very injury prone at the NFL level. Cushing, Maualuga, Mays, Bush, Tyron Smith, etc, etc. Those USC guys are soft. I wonder if they're given certain things at USC that make their bodies less able to stand up over the long haul.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I understand my concerns may not be totally fair, but I just don't have much faith that the guy will be healthy when he is needed most. Same for Perry and Neal. At least guys like Hawk, Raji, Williams, and Shields stay relatively healthy.

I wouldn't put shields in the group of players that stays healthy lol. I think he's missed almost as much time as Clay the last couple years and it seems his specialty is getting knocked out of big playoff games.

I remember several years ago when Fred Taylor got the nickname "Fragile Fred" after missing 6, 3, 14 games in his 2nd, 3rd, 4th NFL seasons. Everyone was saying how he can't stay healthy. He went on to start every game his next two seasons. My point is that injury streaks can come to an end. Like investments, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

I understand the apprehension behind Matthews and his injuries but I don't get the resignation to them. Is it simply a feeling of "If I expect him to miss 4 or 5 games I won't be disappointed when he does"
