Seahawks PUP candidates

[skater18000]

Seattle has a few players with nagging injuries to begin the season. Kenneth Walker, Olu Oluwatimi, Tyrice Knight, Uchenna Nwosu, Rylie Mills and Jonathan Hankins are a few of note. It's sorta unclear how severe these players injuries actually are to start the season or if they're just being sat out as a precaution.

What I'm curious about is if they'll use the PUP list to stash some these players for up to 4 games with a plan to remove them later on in the season.

Teams tend to use the PUP list strategically to stash injured players they don't plan to cut. By placing an injured player on PUP before final roster cuts, they free up a roster spot for up to the first four weeks of the season. This allows the team to keep the injured player without counting against the 53-man limit, while evaluating other players. The four-week window gives the team time to assess the injured player's recovery and decide if they'll be ready to contribute later in the season, without immediately committing a roster spot.

Given the likely injured players to be considered for PUP designation, based on a scale of 1-5...
which do you think are more likely to be put on the PUP list? (1 = unlikely 5 = guaranteed/possibly IR)

Kenneth Walker 2
Olu Oluwatimi 2
Tyrice Knight 3
Uchenna Nwosu 3
Rylie Mills 5
Jonathan Hankins 4

Mills or Hankins. I liked what I saw from Pili especially the safety so I’m not as concerned as I would if a guy like Tyrice Knight missed any time. Sundell will start at center he’s better than Olu and it really isn’t even close

Now that Nwosu has returned to practice only two Hankins and Mills are even eligible to be PUP’d as each of the rest has played and practiced. Did you mean IRr candidates?

 

[Trackhawk]

Riley Mills is already on IR

 

[Hawkstorian]

Riley Mills is already on IR

Incorrect

 

[jammerhawk]

Rylie Mills is shown as being listed as NFI

 

[FrodosFinger]

Yeah I thought Mills was already out with injury

If they have passed a physical already, they can't be placed on the PUP list, FYI.
