I would guess Pitt is basically just a camp arm until Burrow gets back from his appendectomy.

So like I said, he just hadn't passed his physical yet. Nothing to worry about till there's something to worry about.

[The D.O.Z.]

Unless it turns into something serious, I look at it like this..more snaps for our young guys. May as well get them some quality TC time in incase they’re called upon during the season. I’m interested now more than ever about D’ante. Do they try him at RT now along with Prince? I feel like the kid showed he has some positional versatility to him last year and IIRC he played RT in college. Would be really nice to have a swiss army knife as a swing tackle / 6th lineman already on the roster.

DAMN!! This can only mean JB's surgery didn't go well.

Seriously, being placed on PUP at this point most likely means nothing more than they haven't reported and passed their physical yet. There's nothing to worry about till there's something to worry about.

Collins injured (tweeked) his back sometime this month.  Zac expects Cappa to practice before Collins.

Both vets, along with the others, will have their practice time managed in order to minimize wear and tear

Cupcakes always make a back feel better. Speaking of which, it sounds like La’el Collins could play if there were games right now. But there aren’t, so he and the #Bengals will opt for rest and rehab for a while during camp. No major concerns, it seems. https://t.co/X8CqWGQgk6

Yay, glad I came on here today. Thanks people, looks like everything is fine. 

Like Sled said, no reason to push it this time of year.
