Line 1:

'''Physically unable to perform''' ('''PUP''') is a roster designation used in the [[National Football League]] for players who suffer from football-related injuries during the preseason. Players on the PUP list may participate in team meetings, and take advantage of the training and medical facilities, but cannot practice with the team. There are two separate PUP lists: a preseason PUP list and a regular-season PUP list.

==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, or injuries that did not occur during aan NFL game or practice. 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]].

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]].
