History

Historical Context

In 1990 the NFL and NFLPA introduced the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, limiting each of the league’s 28 teams to 45 injured players who would not count against the 53-man roster. The system also added the reserve/non-football injury (NFI) category for ailments. The New York Jets’ 2024 placement of Joseph Ossai, T’Vondre Sweat and Tyler Baron on PUP/NFI shows the rule’s impact on roster and salary-cap strategy.
