Neal, Sherrod, Harris (And Others) On PUP List

[denverYooper]

He doesn't seem the type, considering how much he works out.

Can't believe the list is seven players long. Even though Worthy almost had to be on there and Tretter seemed likely.

Harris is not really a surprise either.

VIVA CJ WILSON!

Door is open a little wider for Johnny Jolly too.

Wonder why Neal failed his physical? He's a weight room junkie, so I'd have to think he's in shape.

Wasn't Neal participating in the OTAs recently?

Now that you mention it, I think he did tweak something during OTAs, didn't he?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Neal needs all the reps he can get because of the switch of positions he's trying to make. The coaching staff has to be really ticked off about this. Would a guy sabotage his own physical if he wanted out?

He was participating but injured his abdomen near the end of OTAs. Is a week or two away.

Abdomen? Crap, those are a death knell for hockey players. Like a lot of soft tissue injuries, they can really linger. And it seems most of Neale's injuries linger.

Neal does not appear to be resisting the position change:

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 9m
Neal also laid off weights and placed more emphasis on running to "get my body in more of a nimble position to play, more flexible"

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 10m
Neal is down to 275 LBs. Said it was a personal decision to expedite dual role as OLB/DL. Ate 10 oz of salmon 2x w/ egg whites for breakfast

Has the be the first optimistic news about Sherrod since he came off PUP last year to practice in individual drills. But its very guarded and couched optimism and he isn't there yet.

Anyone heard what House's illness is?

Good to see the reason listed is not 'shoulder' but unhappy to see him among the walking wounded again (still?).

Yes but was it wild Alaskan salmon or some farmed fish? That could be the problem.

I think they are still debating about whether he will wear a harness or not. But not sure that debate is what is holding him out now.

According to MM, House is out with an illness. Harris is out with a knee injury suffered while working out prior to training camp.
