2023 NFL PUP list tracker: Jonathan Taylor out for Colts, Trey Flowers sidelined after signing with Patriots

Training camps are underway around the NFL, but not everyone is suiting up to start the summer. A handful of big names have recently been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, indefinitely sidelining players ahead of the 2023 season.

Players on PUP count against 90-man offseason rosters during training camp, but they can be activated to practice at any point prior to the season. If they remain on PUP after the finalization of 53-man regular-season rosters, however, they are required to miss at least the first four games of the season before resuming practice and/or joining the official lineup.

Here’s a look at some of the most notable names on PUP to open 2023 training camp:

• QB Kyler Murray (knee): The former No. 1 overall pick suffered a torn ACL last December, jeopardizing his availability for the start of the 2023 season. Arizona isn’t expected to have Murray on the field for the entirety of the summer, with veteran backup Colt McCoy penciled in as the new regime’s placeholder under center.
• TE Zach Ertz (knee): One of Murray’s most reliable pass targets before suffering a season-ending ACL and MCL injury last November, the ex-Eagles standout will be temporarily replaced by Trey McBride.
• OLB BJ Ojulari (knee): The second-round pick out of LSU is the younger brother of Giants edge rusher Azeez Ojulari. When healthy, he’s expected to man a starting role for Jonathan Gannon’s defense.

• RB J.K. Dobbins (knee): Limited to eight games the last two seasons, Dobbins is recovering from knee surgery with tentative plans to open the year as RB1. In the meantime, the Ravens added veteran Melvin Gordon as insurance.
• LB Tyus Bowser (non-football injury): Bowser reported showed up to camp with his knee wrapped, so him landing on the NFI list isn’t too surprising. Bowser started last season on the PUP list after suffering a torn Achilles in January of 2022. In nine games played a year ago, he totaled two sacks, 13 tackles and a forced fumble. 

• LB Von Miller (knee): Miller is returning after tearing his ACL on Thanksgiving last season. Before going down, the veteran pass rusher was putting up strong numbers, including eight sacks over the course of 11 games. 
• LB Tyler Matakevich (undisclosed): The core special teams player signed a two-year extension with the Bills back in March and has been with the organization since 2020 after coming over from the Steelers.
• DT Jordan Phillips (undisclosed): Phillips appeared in 12 games (one start) for the Bills last season and totaled 20 tackles, 1.5 sacks and broke up two passes. 

• WR Chase Claypool (undisclosed): The 2022 trade acquisition missed most of the spring with apparent soft-tissue injuries. The ex-Steeler was expected to play a No. 3 role behind Darnell Mooney and new top target D.J. Moore.

• OT La’el Collins (knee): The former Cowboys starter may be out of a first-team right tackle job thanks to Jonah Williams‘ transition, but if he’s able to complete rehab from an ACL tear, he could still make it a competition before Week 1.

• WR Marquise Goodwin (non-football illness): Goodwin signed with the Browns in April. Earlier this month, the wideout was diagnosed with blood clots in his legs and lungs. Goodwin had said that he plans to participate in meetings during camp until he is cleared by doctors to return. 
• G Colby Gossett (non-football injury): Gossett signed with the Browns in early May after spending the previous two years with Atlanta. The former sixth-round pick has started nine of his 36 games played in his career. 
• WR Anthony Schwartz (non-football injury): The 2021 third-rounder is coming off a 2022 season where he caught just four passes for 51 yards in 11 games. 
• WR Mike Woods (non-football injury): The 2022 sixth-rounder suffered a ruptured Achilles during an independent workout with Deshaun Watson back in April. 

Dallas Cowboys

• CB Jourdan Lewis (foot): Lewis suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 7 last season after recording an interception and was placed on IR in late October. While Lewis started four of his six games a season ago, the arrival of Stephon Gilmore may result in fewer starting reps in 2023.
• TE Luke Schoonmaker (non-football injury): Dallas selected Schoonmaker with the No. 58 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Michigan and is expected to help cushion the blow of losing Dalton Schultz in free agency. Schoonmaker was dealing with a foot injury that limited him throughout the offseason.

• CB Emmanuel Moseley (knee): The former 49ers starter is one of Detroit’s most prominent free-agent additions in a revamped secondary, but he’s still recovering from an ACL tear that ended his 2022 campaign.

Green Bay Packers

• WR Grant DuBose (non-football injury): The Charlotte product was a seventh-round draft choice by the Packers this past spring. During his final collegiate season, DuBose caught 64 passes for 792 yards and nine touchdowns. 
• TE Camren McDonald (non-football injury): The Florida State rookie suffered an injury while working out during FSU’s Pro Day, but it’s unclear if that is the injury that is sidelining him to begin camp. 

• TE Teagan Quitoriano (undisclosed): The 2022 fifth-round pick is coming off a rookie season where he caught seven passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns in nine games played.
• OT Dylan Deatherage (undisclosed): The rookie out of Western Michigan signed with the club in May as an undrafted free agent.
• OT Charlie Heck (undisclosed): Heck is entering his fourth season with the Texans after the club drafted him in the fourth round in the 2020 NFL Draft out of North Carolina. He started in three of Houston’s 17 games last season. 
• DE Chase Winovich (undisclosed): The pass-rusher signed a one-year deal with the Texans in mid-March. He was limited to eight games for the Browns last season where he totaled 20 tackles and a sack.
• DT Sheldon Rankins (non-football illness): Rankins signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract with the Texans this offseason. In 15 starts for the Jets a season ago, he totaled 43 tackles and three sacks.
• CB Kendall Sheffield (undisclosed): The 2019 fourth-round pick is entering his first season with the Texans after signing back in early March. The corner hasn’t played in a regular season game since 2021 when he was with the Falcons.

• RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle): Taylor missed six games last season due to an ankle injury and underwent surgery on his right ankle back in January. When healthy, Taylor is one of the more talented backs in the league and still was able to total over a thousand yards from scrimmage in 2022 in just 11 games played. 

• DE Tyree Wilson (non-football injury): Wilson is still recovering from a foot injury that originated prior to the Raiders selecting him with the No. 7 overall pick this past spring. 

• OT Terron Armstead (undisclosed): Armstead played 13 games at left tackle for the Dolphins last season after inking a $75 million deal with the club last offseason. 
• TE Tanner Conner (undisclosed): Conner was an undrafted rookie for the Dolphins last season and appeared in 13 games for the team in 2022. While he was a wide receiver in college, the sophomore has since transitioned to tight end upon signing with Miami. 
• OT Isaiah Wynn (undisclosed): Wynn signed with the Dolphins in May after spending his first five years in the NFL with the Patriots. Wynn was placed on IR in mid-December of last year and was limited to just nine games. 

• RB Breece Hall (knee): An early-2022 candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year, he was ultra-efficient before an ACL tear prematurely ended his debut. New York has been exploring Dalvin Cook while monitoring Hall’s recovery.
• WR Randall Cobb (ankle): An Aaron Rodgers favorite, the former Packers wideout is rehabbing from surgery. When healthy, he figures to slot in immediately as a secondary possession target for the team’s new star quarterback.

• WR Sterling Shepard (knee): Shepard tore his ACL in Week 3 against Dallas, cutting his seventh season in the NFL short. He signed a one-year extension with the Giants back in March. That ACL injury comes after Shepard tore his Achilles in Week 15 of the 2021 season, so the wideout has been hit hard with injuries over the past few seasons. 
• WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee): Robinson was a second-round pick of the Giants in 2022 and pegged to have a sizable role within the offense. However, he suffered a torn ACL in Week 11 against Lions that ended his rookie season. To add insult to injury, Robinson was enjoying a breakout performance (nine catches for 100 yards) before suffering the injury. 
• CB Aaron Robinson (knee): New York selected Robinson in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 24-year-old was another ACL victim for the Giants as he went down after appearing in just two games. 
• DT D.J. Davidson (knee): The 2022 fifth-round pick went down with an ACL tear in New York’s Week 5 matchup against the Packers last season and was sidelined for the remainder of the year. In five games played, he totaled four tackles. 

New England Patriots

• OL Michael Onwenu (ankle): The fourth-year player missed spring practices after undergoing ankle surgery during the offseason. He has yet to miss a game through his first three seasons, suffering the ankle injury during the team’s 2022 season finale in Buffalo.
• ST Cody Davis (unknown): The veteran special teamer was limited to just six games in his third season with the Patriots.
• LB Trey Flowers (unknown): The Patriots signed Flowers this week for another stint in New England and placed him on the PUP list shortly after he signed.

• TE Noah Fant (undisclosed): Acquired as part of the Russell Wilson trade with the Broncos last year, Fant had 50 catches and just under 490 yards in his Seahawks debut in 2022.
• LB Jordyn Brooks (knee): The fourth-year starter tore his ACL in Week 17 of last season, so he’s still rehabbing. It’s very possible he could remain on PUP to open the season, giving him more time to recover.
• S Jamal Adams (quad): The former Pro Bowler has played just 13 combined games the last two seasons, and he’s still recovering from a torn quad he suffered in Week 1 of last season.
