With training camp set to begin later this month, the injury designation lists will return too: the PUP, IR and NFI.
In the earlier stages of the offseason such as OTAs and minicamp, there is less information regarding a player’s injury unless they and/or a coach are open about it. Typically, the best ways to tell an injured player’s status is whether they participate in team drills, individual drills or no drills at all as they manage their respective injury. When training camp rolls around, signaling the ramp-up to the next season, so do official designations.
