Panthers put 4 players, including Julius Peppers, on physically unable to perform list

After 16 NFL seasons, the Carolina Panthers aren’t really worried about rushing defensive end Julius Peppers into his 17th one.

Peppers will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as he continues to recover from offseason labrum surgery on his right shoulder. Peppers, 38, missed all of OTAs and minicamp during the spring.

But general manager Marty Hurney is not concerned about the health of the future Hall of Famer.

“Julius is fine. You want to be cautious,” Hurney said Wednesday. “Listen, you know what Pep’s going to bring. I don’t think you worry a whole lot about Julius Peppers.
