Overview
- Arizona placed edge rusher Josh Sweat on the Physically Unable to Perform list at the start of training camp and also put Paris Johnson Jr., Garrett Williams and Tip Reiman on PUP.
- Head coach Mike LaFleur described Sweat’s absence as “maintenance,” said the issue involves his knee and expressed expectation that Sweat will practice at some point.
- Sweat missed most offseason workouts, a pattern that had already generated trade and dissatisfaction speculation around his future in Arizona.
- Sweat signed a four-year, $76.4 million deal after leaving Philadelphia, posted a career-high 12.0 sacks in 2025, and publicly protested being left off the Pro Bowl.
- The simultaneous PUP placements reflect a broader health-management approach that keeps those players on the 90-man roster while preserving the team’s control over practice activation and roster flexibility.
