The New York Giants placed three players on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as training camp officially opened on Tuesday.
Offensive linemen Nick Gates and Matt Peart, and wide receiver Sterling Shepard can be activated from the list at any point during camp. If they remain on PUP as the regular season opens, they will be required to miss a minimum of six weeks.
Gates suffered an ugly leg fracture in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders a season ago. He underwent multiple surgeries and although there was initially concern about his NFL future, there now seems to be growing optimism that Gates could return as early as this season.
