The Patriots have placed three players returning from injuries on their physically unable to perform list, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Running back Sony Michel (foot), receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and core special teamer Brandon King (quad) are opening training camp on the PUP list. The players can come off the reserve list as soon as they pass a physical.
Michel underwent surgery on his foot in May. The operation reportedly was “more maintenance-based” and designed to relieve discomfort that Michel has been experiencing in his foot.
Michel ran 247 times for 912 yards and seven touchdowns last season.
