The Patriots placed six players onto the PUP list yesterday (Boston Globe). TEs Jake Ballard and Daniel Fells, G Logan Mankins, DL Myron Pryor, LB Brandon Spikes, and OT Sebastian Vollmer were all placed onto the PUP list. Each of them are working their way back from an injury during the offseason. They can be taken off of the PUP list at any time, but while they are on the list they will not count against the 90-man roster.
