I also didn't know that once you take someone off the PUP list you can't put them back on it. This is probally part of the reason they want to make sure he is fully healthy before taking him off the PUP list.

Didn't realize PUP had been changed from 6 weeks to 4. That's actually quite helpful in making roster decisions at the end of pre-season.
I do appreciate that the rule changes in the last few years have given teams flexibility when it comes to "medium"-length injuries where a guy could be out 4-12 weeks or so, but you can still balance the injury with your 53 man roster count. Before, it felt like all or nothing when it came to Injured Reserve.
