Not known, but status for the start of the season obviously in doubt. RT @Th3Claude: @caplannfl any length of time?

Unless his recovery time is terrible, I doubt Mays goes on the PUP.

His cap hit is $4,000,000 next year. He'd have to play really well to earn that if he were healthy. He knows that, so it's in his best interest to try to play, as well as KC's. If he goes to PUP, you take a $1,000,000 hit to next year's cap for absolutely nothing. If you keep him, you're taking a $4,000,000 cap hit for an unproven player on your team. If his recovery time is reasonable, he'll make the 53, if not, I'll bet they take the $2,000,000 dead money hit this year. No idea what an injury settlement would cost.

Could be completely wrong though, I'm no cap guru. I might completely misunderstand the whole contact.

His recovery time doesn't matter. He is not eligible to be placed on the PUP list. He can go on the return IR, but not PUP.

Return IR makes a player ineligible to play until week 8 or something, correct?

We'll likely just keep him on the active roster while he heals up. Put one of those huge ass casts on and call it good.

Another great use of resources, especially considering we're set on the line and in the secondary.

Yeah, it's an 8 week minimum.

This. He may not give the job back.

Not sure that JMJ might be the better option anyway.
