WESTMINSTER, Md. – Baltimore Ravens second-round draft pick Terrence Cody has failed his conditioning test and was not permitted to participate in the team's first training camp practice.

The 360-pound defensive tackle out of Alabama signed a three-year contract Monday and arrived at McDaniel College eager to launch his NFL career. But after flunking his physical, he was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP).

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said, "When he passes the conditioning test, he'll practice."

Baltimore's other second-round pick, linebacker Sergio Kindle of Texas, fractured his skull while falling down a flight of stairs and will probably miss the entire camp.

Who was falling all over themselves wanting us to take this slob? He have blips of great play but overall this guy will fail. The guy will never be more than a two down player and injuries will cut his career short.

If he is bad this year imagine what he will be like next year after an off season with a couple hundred thousand dollars in his pocket. That's lots of baby back ribs!!!!!!

Let's play Mount Cody Mad Libs!

He ate [noun] up last year.

No matter what word you put in there, there is a reasonable likelihood of you being correct.

Haha--Jeff Foxworthy.
Cody can't pass conditioning tests at 22 years of age, having been drafted two months ago knowing he will want to come prepared to impress and try to fulfill a dream (to play in the NFL), coming off his senior season going from a broke college kid and able to secure his future if he can come to interviews (i.e. the draft process) and impress potential employers--AND HE SHOWS UP IN THIS KIND OF SHAPE?

It allows them to carry more players early in camp. I'll bet most of these guys have minor dings they want to heal. So as long as they are on PUP they can carry 7 more live tackling dummies for drills.

They are gaming the system right now. NE did the same thing with Welker.

I hope Cody sucks, but we as Steeler fans should know that passing the conditioning test on the first day of training camp has little bearing on the performance of a NT in a 3-4.

We aren't talking about the "miss 6 games" PUP list correct?

Re: Rats draft pick Cody flunks conditioning test

We aren't talking about the "miss 6 games" PUP list correct?

No...it's the Reserve/PUP list that requires a player to miss the first 6 games. We are still at the point of the Active/PUP list. But if they decide to allow any of these guys to practice at all, and want to put him back on PUP, it would have to be the Reserve list and the mandatory 6 week vacation.

That's what I thought RB.
