Ok. Not much in the way of definitive there. But ultimately, as the article says 1 or 2 weeks of PUP at the start of training camp isn't going to make or break his season.

Not at all and if that's the "safer" route then by all means let's do it.

That way nobody can gripe about the team not having the player's best interests in mind.

What is the advantage of putting him on Active PUP though? Once that happens we can't PUP him later in the season, if necessary. Can't we just keep him active and not have him work out? We'll have to get to 53 eventually and I think blowing the opportunity to PUP him during the season isn't worth having an extra RB in camp for a couple weeks. Perhaps I'm missing the advantage of the Active PUP during training camp.

He has to start out on PUP, once he practices he can't go on it.

RGIII had knee surgery on January 9th, just 6 month ago.
This is a no brainer... he is better off rehabbing and strengthening his knee in preparation of game 1, not the preseason.
He should not play in preseason game 1 and 2.... maybe not even play in game 3.
He can still get reps in practice with his teammates (no contact) and prepare just fine for the season.
This is a smart move.
