As expected, the Los Angeles Rams will be without Tyler Higbee on the field for the start of training camp. Sean McVay said on Tuesday that Higbee will start camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, meaning he will not participate in practice as he continues to rehab a torn ACL and MCL suffered in January.
McVay said Higbee is the only player who will go on the PUP list as of now, so the Rams are otherwise healthy for the beginning of camp.
With the PUP list, Higbee cannot practice but can participate in other team activities. He can also be activated at any time, at which point he’ll be able to practice. This designation does not guarantee that he will miss any regular-season games, either.
If the Rams do keep Higbee on the reserve/PUP list when final roster cuts are made, however, he will be required to miss at least the first four games of the season.
