On the day Chargers veterans reported for training camp, the team announced that third-year linebacker Kenneth Murray will be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP). Players who are place on the PUP list are eligible to return to the practice field at any time prior to the regular season.
Murray elected to have shoulder surgery earlier this season to repair a nagging injury which ultimately kept him from participating in any of the team’s offseason program. After a sophomore season in which he struggled to retain a consistent role on defense, starting off on the PUP isn’t the most ideal situation for the former first-round pick.
