Lions place DE Austin Bryant on PUP among roster moves to start training camp
No, this is not a duplicate report…
Austin Bryant will begin the Detroit Lions 2021 training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. It’s the second season in a row where Bryant lands on the PUP list before the year starts. He ended the 2020 season playing through a thigh injury, one unrelated to the pectoral injury that sidelined him earlier in the season. The 2019 fourth-round pick from Clemson has been healthy for just 10 games in two seasons.
The team made a couple of other roster moves as the rookies and injured players report for training camp.
Undrafted rookie wide receiver Javon McKinley was placed on the non-football injury list. McKinley was a full participant in the team’s minicamp in June. Another UDFA, offensive lineman Evan Heim, was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Training camp commences on Wednesday in Allen Park.
