According to various published reports the Patriots placed six veterans on active/PUP when the injured veteran players reported to Gillette Stadium on Monday.
The list includes Logan Mankins (knee), Brandon Spikes (knee), Sebastian Vollmer (back), Myron Pryor, Jake Ballard (knee) and Daniel Fells.
The team reportedly had previously placed rookie Jeremy Ebert on active/PUP.
Players can be removed from active/PUP at any time when they pass the team's physical, but must open camp on PUP if the team is to have the option of placing them on PUP to open the regular season.
