Earlier this afternoon, the Packers placed Donovan Jennings, Tucker Kraft, Alex McGough and Zach Tom on the active/physically unable to perform list. Kitan Oladapo has been placed on the non-football injury list.

Players on the PUP list can participate in team activities but are not allowed to practice. Players can be can be removed from the list at any time during camp, but they can’t be placed back on it.

The non-football injury list is for players who suffer an injury while away from the team.

Both Tom and Kraft suffered torn pectoral muscles during the offseason and are most likely still recovering. Head coach Matt LaFleur indicated during the offseason program that he expected both to be available for most of camp. The Packers are undoubtedly being their usual cautious selves here.

As for Oladapo, he missed much of the offseason work while recivering from surgery to fix a broken toe. Now it would appear he's hurt himself again while away from the facility. Tough start to the young man's Packers career.

I expedited this to happen.

What a pity.

This isn't a big deal, is it? I feel we start every training camp with handful on PUP and maybe one goes into season on PUP

Edit- my comment: "What a pity" is based on the fact it is better to be a full participant in camp than to be stuck on the sidelines riding an exercise bike.

Probably not, but no one else is posting Packers stuff, so why not post it, as something is better than nothing.

As far as how serious it is or isn't, I guess that depends on how seriously the injuries are or aren't. Which I don't have any good why to judge.

I think our guys will be OK though. And nothing against posting it at all. Maybe someone sees is, then sees it's a nothing burger (maybe) and voila. 🙂

Gutekunst says RT Zach Tom will come off the PUP list this morning and will practice on a limited basis today. TE Tucker Kraft is a little further away and will be on PUP to start camp. Both players coming off offseason torn pectoral muscles.

Which is potentially an extra season roster spot, should the PUP player not be ready to go.

Zero2Cool (41m) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (42m) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (42m) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (43m) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (43m) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (49m) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (1h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (2h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (2h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (2h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (2h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (2h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (2h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (3h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (3h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (9h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (11h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (12h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (14h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (15h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (18h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (18h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (20h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings
