Okay Ballard, Edelman and Gronk are on the active/PUP list which is not the same as the Reserve/PUP which requires them to miss first six games of year. They count against roster and can be activated at any time. This is actually good news for Gronk which means he is highly unlikely to miss first six games of week and the same for Ballard and edelman. It is probably cautionary since none of them are ready for the full contact of scrimmages in camp.
see post on the other thread about stashing players that they dont really need to see or look at.. i think this is more of the BB smoke screen that we get everyyear.. hey at least its not tebow news..
