PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles have placed defensive end Jonathan Greenard on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list after he sustained a pectoral muscle strain while lifting weights during the team’s offseason conditioning program. The designation was made as NFL teams opened training camps and filed their initial roster moves ahead of the new season. League reports state that the pass rusher is not expected to be sidelined for an extended period, but he will remain under evaluation by the Eagles’ medical staff as he continues his rehabilitation from the injury. PHILADELPHIA — The move temporarily removes Greenard from full practice participation as the organization manages its roster at the start of camp and prepares for the upcoming regular season schedule. He is viewed as a central component of Philadelphia’s defensive front, and the team plans to monitor his progress closely before integrating him into team drills. Medical personnel will track his response to treatment and conditioning work, ensuring he is ready to resume football activities when cleared. The PUP listing reflects a precautionary approach while the Eagles work to keep a key defensive player available for the season.
