Lions Place Three Players On Active/PUP List Including TE Brandon Pettigrew

The Lions announced that they have placed three players on their active/physically unable to perform list on Sunday, including TE Brandon PettigrewWR Corey Fuller and OT Corey Robinson.

These players can return to practice once activated. However, if they remain on PUP list to start the regular season, they would miss at least the first six weeks.

Pettigrew, 31, is entering the third year of his four-year, $16 million contract that included $8 million guaranteed. He’ll make a base salary of $3.65 million this season and another $4.35 million in 2017.

Pettigrew suffered a torn ACL injury during Week 8 last season, which led to him being placed on the season-ending injured reserved.

In 2015, Pettigrew totaled seven receptions for 67 yards receiving and a single touchdown over the course of eight games.

Fuller, 26, is a former sixth-round pick of the Lions back in 2013. He’ll be a restricted free agent next year if he accrues another season.

In 2015, Fuller appeared in 12 games for the Lions and totaled four receptions for 76 yards receiving.
