I thought NFL rookie contracts were pretty much etched in stone.........cut and dry, no wiggle room.

Could be wrong, but I think it's about the guaranteed money in the contract.

Sounds like you're probably right according to this:

According to this, Christian Watson was placed on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list today by the Packers:

Packers rookie WR Watson opens camp on PUP list

Maybe this is just some sort of procedural move? He just signed his contract, and I hadn't heard of any injury concerns...

For some clarity, I don't know the exact reason for the move but being placed on the PUP list prior to training camp start is far less concerning than the preseason and in-season PUP. The latter you need to sit out 6 games before the team needs to make a decision on you injury-wise. The pre-training camp PUP list is indefinite. They could take him off the list anytime they want.

Doesn't lessen the potential severity but we don't need to assume he is out for 6+ weeks like usual with that designation.
