BearFan2000 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 McPhee again like last season starting training camp on the PUP list. SMH McPhee Pup List On the bright side however, White will not be limited in practice. Hope he finally stays healthy and we see what he can do.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 McPhee probably won't make it through the season. Unfortunate, because he's a good player when healthy, but it would appear that knee is going to end his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Sadly it could end his career. It is a shame the talent is there but if he can't get healthy and stay healthy. There's still a chance he can return so we'll see but it's not looking good. Two straight seasons starting camp on the PUP isn't a good sign.

lemonej Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Truth be told that you won't get from Pace or Fox( who both think they are secret agents), according to reports on ESPN 1000 its the other knee! Those two sat there in the presser and Pace who did most of the talking said "I don't believe anyone is starting on PUP list this year." Come on its July and they lie about overall health on day one? Fans if you ever meet these two and shake hands with them count your fingers and if you take a selfie do it yourself because they may take your phone.

Fans if you ever meet these two and shake hands with them count your fingers and if you take a selfie do it yourself because they may take your phone. "On the sideline: Fox told reporters Thursday that outside linebacker Pernell McPhee was placed on the physically unable to perform list late Wednesday night because a “little irregularity” was discovered in his right knee during a team physical. McPhee missed the first six games last season while recovering from surgery on his left knee. “He truly is day-to-day,” Fox said. “They’re still evaluating that and we’ll keep you posted as that moves forward. I don’t want to be too negative or positive with the idea that we don’t really know yet.” From an article On Kevin White that included updates on Kyle Long, and McPhee. They discovered the issue Wed likely after the presser. It seems like a bang bang deal where possibly after the presser they found out from the physicals that there was an issue with his knee. That said Bears staff hasn't always been transparent concerning player injuries/recovery progress in the past. This could have been optimism in the presser only to find out later that McPhee would have to be put on the PUP List. Either way, it's disappointing that for the second season McPhee has had to start camp on the list. Even worse for him and the team that it's the other knee. It sucks but it is what it is.

I agree, I do not think they knew of this prior to the presser. I also suspect, knowing that "Health" is the key issue with this team after the disastrous 2016 season, that they are doing this as a sort of "preseason red-shirt", keeping him sidelined and making sure he is healthy going into the season. I am guessing he will be in the starting lineup on opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
