Quote:Accoring to DiRocco, Colvin isn't being placed on IR, but rather going on what sounds like the PUP list.

Relevant quote:

One more move: The Jaguars are finished with this round of cuts and have 76 players on the roster but will move rookie cornerback Aaron Colvin to the reserve/non-football injury list on Tuesday. He won’t count against the roster total at that point. Colvin, who suffered a torn ACL during Senior Bowl practices, cannot practice for six weeks after the season starts. The Jaguars could then decide to activate him or place him on IR.

 

Here's a quote from Wikipedia that backs that up.

 

"During the preseason, the league also allows players with long-term, but not season-ending, injuries to be placed into one of two designations: physically unable to perform (PUP), for injuries sustained during the previous season or during training camp, or reserve/non-football injury, for injuries sustained outside of team or league activities (despite the name, this includes lingering injuries from college football play, should an injured player be drafted and join the team. Both designations are functionally identical in that the player can be promoted to the active roster by week 6 of the regular season or placed on injured reserve."

 

 If Aaron Colvin is placed on the regular season PUP list,  that means he was never taken off the Training Camp PUP list.   Reading the earlier part of the thread,  I assumed that Colvin practiced with the Jaguars this summer.    Apparently,  that's not the case,  based on the info you provided,  as once a player is taken off the Training Camp PUP list,  he's not eligible for the regular season PUP list.
