Yes, NFL inactive players are paid, but their compensation is different from active players. Inactive players typically receive their base salary, but they do not earn game checks for the weeks they are inactive. Their salary is divided into regular season paychecks, which means they still receive their full salary, but they won't receive additional pay for participation in that week's game.

Yes, NFL players on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list do receive their salaries. However, their pay is prorated based on the length of time they are on the list. If a player remains on the PUP list into the regular season, they will not count against the team's active roster limit but will still earn their contracted salary during that time.

There is no longer an injury list in the NBA. Teams now designate up to two players as 'inactive'. The difference between the two is that under the former 'injured list', the player was automatically ineligible for 5 games. In either situation, the player experiences no change in his pay.
Players placed on IR are still paid by the team. Most players have a down amount that is less than their full salary and that is what they are paid while on IR.
Yes. The PUP list is similar to MLB's 60 day disabled list. Players receive full salary but are not allowed to play or practice. They may attend team meetings.
