Jonathan Greenard opens Eagles camp on the PUP list - NBC Sports

What the report says

NBCSports.com’s Pro Football Talk reported that outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard is beginning his first Philadelphia Eagles training camp on the physically unable to perform list. The report, published July 29, 2026, said Greenard sustained a pectoral strain while lifting weights, citing multiple reports. The issue is not expected to sideline him for a long stretch, according to the article.

While on the PUP list, Greenard cannot participate in practice. Pro Football Talk noted that the Eagles can activate him at any time during camp, meaning the designation does not necessarily signal a long-term absence. The timing is still notable because Greenard is a new arrival in Philadelphia and is expected to be part of the team’s edge-rushing group.

The Eagles acquired Greenard from the Minnesota Vikings during the offseason and then gave him a four-year contract extension worth $100 million, according to NBCSports.com. His availability will be watched as Philadelphia works through its defensive plans and evaluates its pass-rush rotation during camp.

Pro Football Talk identified Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa as other experienced outside linebacker options on the Eagles’ roster. More broadly, PUP-list placements are common early in NFL training camps and can be used while teams manage injuries before players are cleared for full practice, but the article did not provide a specific return date for Greenard.
