The Pittsburgh Steelers placed tight end Ladarius Green on Reserve/PUP Tuesday afternoon and as a result he will now miss at least the first six weeks of the 2016 regular season. Now that this transaction has been made, it’s time to review the rules of Reserve/PUP.
Below is what the 2013 CBA league rule change says about Reserve/PUP
Commencing on the day after the conclusion of the sixth regular season weekend and continuing through the day after the conclusion of the 11th regular season weekend, clubs are permitted to begin practicing players on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform for a period not to exceed 21 calendar days.
