The Broncos will place Delarrin Turner-Yell and Drew Sanders on the physically-unable-to-perform list to start the regular season.
Introduction
The Denver Broncos have made a significant decision regarding their roster as they prepare for the impending regular season. This involves placing safety Delarrin Turner-Yell and linebacker Drew Sanders on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, which will leave them off the initial 53-player roster.
Details About the Players
Both players have faced injury setbacks that impacted their ability to participate in summer practices. Turner-Yell is recovering from an ACL tear suffered in December, and Sanders is dealing with an Achilles injury sustained during offseason workouts.
Implications of the PUP List
Being placed on the PUP list allows the Broncos not to count these players against their active roster limit. This strategic move ensures the team can manage their depth while these players continue to recover.
Rule Changes Regarding the PUP List
The NFL has modified its PUP list regulations to reduce the mandatory number of games players must sit out, from six to four, providing teams with increased flexibility in roster management and allowing quicker returns for injured players.
