It's the preseason PUP, which means he can be activated as soon as he's medically cleared. Not sure there were any set backs after he ran some routes in individual drills during OTAs, but it offers some roster protection going forward should he be deemed not ready to participate. Basically a hard lesson was learned with Antonio Bryant way back when, so I think the team just makes sure to use the designations as early as possible to prevent any roster/financial problems in case of a flare up or setback.
