A player who finishes the preseason still on the PUP list can then be placed on the regular-season PUP list. Such players must sit out the first six games their team plays. At that point, teams have a threefive-week window in which to allow the player to begin practicing; from the day the player begins practicing, teams have an additional three21-weekday window in which to decide whether to activate the player to the 53-man roster. If either of those deadlines pass, the player must remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.<ref>{{cite news |title=Hurt?NFL WhatMakes InjuredMinor PlayersChange Needto Physically Unable to KnowPerform (PUP) List Rules |url=http://www.nflplayerssportsmedia101.com/Articlesnewyorkgiants/Public-News2013/Hurt07/27/nfl-Whatmakes-Injuredminor-Playerschange-Needto-physically-unable-to-Knowperform-pup-list-rules/ |work=nflplayerssportsmedia101.com/ |date=JuneJuly 327, 20082013 |accessdate=20102013-10-1118}}</ref>
