History

Historical Context

In 1990 the NFL introduced the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, allowing teams to keep injured players off the 53-man roster while they used team facilities. That season the Kansas City Chiefs topped the league with twelve players on PUP. Thirty years later the Chiefs again placed quarterback Patrick Mahomes and rookie Mansoor Delane on the list, underscoring its continued roster impact.
