This allows us to keep them without taking up a roster spot during camp. It buys some time to look at younger guys in camp, while adding a safety factor to the PUP player's recovery and ensuring they're good to go. Its important to note that as soon as a player is cleared medically, meaning they pass their physical, the organization becomes immediately responsible for them financially... so... you dont want a guy aggravating something, then swallowing a roster spot and a salary when he cant play Its was in Vic Ketchman's discussion on Packers.com this week. I probably butchered his explanation but hopefully you get the point lol</blockquote>
