i'm confused (not a novel state). what does this mean for fiedler? is he out for the year?
i'm not sure what the ramifications are for being placed on the "Unable to Perform" list.

It just means he's not 100% healthy. He is not out for the year. He won't practice and as long as the bucs take him off that list before the season starts, he will be available week 1. If he's not off the list before the season starts, he can't contribute or be activated until week 10(I think).
