Raiders' Roy Helu: Placed on PUP list

Helu (hip) has been placed on the Raiders' physically unable to perform list for the start of training camp.

Analysis:

Helu did not practice in any of the Raiders' offseason workouts while recovering from offseason hip procedures, and he'll continue to sit out of practice as training camp begins. It's unclear how long he'll remain out, but the more time he misses, the more likely it is that he gets cut, as Oakland has several other running backs also on the roster, including Latavius Murray, DeAndre Washington, George Atkinson and Taiwan Jones.
