So, if someone can refresh my aging alien brain, PUP means you're out for the year, right? On last week they kept talking
about how Jordy (IR) is WAY ahead of schedule on his rehab. So would he possibly be available for playoffs?

PUP isn't available for anybody who practiced during training camp.
One clarification. IR = season over unless you have the "designated to return" label assigned to a player. A team may have only one of those. And to my knowledge JN doesn't have it. So even if he recovers he won't be back this year.

What is the reason the NFL doesn't allow players placed on IR return when they recover? I assume teams would/could us IR to stash players but I was never sure. (I did do minutes of Google searches before asking here.)
Edit:
(One reason IR rules became so rigid over the years is that teams like the Raiders and Redskins in the 80’s used it to hide young talent. Players were told to fake injuries so the team can hoard young talant. And it occasionally is still being done, but it’s not as prevalent. Coaches would instruct players to take a dive in the last pre season game and then then they got placed on IR. Then they would practice on the scout team for the entire year after taking just a week off to fake nurse the fake injury. With the expansion of the practice squad there is less need for this maneuver and the penalties from the Commissioner’s office are much bigger.)
Only took one more search.

Even if the NFL had some rule where you could "retract" an IR designation, I highly doubt this medical staff would allow with Jordy anyway. Yes, he's far ahead on his rehab and he also had near full range of motion in his knee 2 weeks post op (that's essentially unheard of).
But this is a all pro WR and security blanket to AR. They aren't going to push anything even if they could, which they can't.
They've also won 6 straight without Nelson. Get Adams back. Get JJ and Ty healthy. And then Quarless down the road. They'll be OK.
I think there is one way Jordy could come back, but it would never happen. If the Packers released him he could sign with another team and be activated. But that would never happen, would it?
In the 10 games Aaron has played without Jordy due to injury:
10-0.
23 TDs
2 Ints (Both against the Rams 2 weeks ago)
Of of course in the 85 or so games he has played with Jordy his numbers are kind of the same.
Aaron Rodgers is a video game character with a pulse.

You sir, obviously snorted a hallucinogenic cheese curd.
