==Non-Football Injury==
A similar list, known as the '''Non-Football Injury (NFI)''' list, is functionally equivalent to PUP, but is used for players who are unable to practice as a result of conditions unrelated to football. For example, [[New England Patriots]] tackle [[Marcus Cannon]] began his rookie season on the NFI list as he recovered from [[chemotherapy]] for [[non-Hodgkin lymphoma]]. Also, [[David Quessenberry]] of the [[Houston Texans]] was put on the NFI list in mid-June, 2014 after his [[diagnosis]] of [[Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]] at the age of 23.
The NFI designation, despite its name, also covers injuries sustained during football played outside the NFL, including [[college football]]. [[Willis McGahee]] spent his entire rookie season on the [[Buffalo Bills]]' NFI list due to the major knee injury he sustained in the [[2003 Fiesta Bowl]].
