Best Answer

Physically Unable to Perform or PUP prohibits a player from practicing with his team. It is usually a preseason designation.

A player who begins the season on the PUP list must sit out his team's first six games. After that point, the player is allowed to practice with the team through Week 10 of the NFL season, and can be activated any time within that window. If the player is not activated by Week 10, he must stop practicing and is unavailable to be moved to the active roster for the remainder of the season.

Do you have to attend the combine to be drafted by the NFL?

If you're physically able to, they will ask you to. If you turn them down, most NFL teams will take that as a sign of disrespect to the NFL. Many players do not attend the NFL combine. Players are invited to participate, but many players choose not to attend. It is helpful, but not necessary to improve you draft status. It is not considered disrespectful to the NFL to not attend the combine.


For the NFL in order to get a credited season is it 3 games on the active roster or being paid for 3 games worth of their contract salary?

Both, as long as the player is not on the Practice Squad. According to the NFL Players Association: "A Credited Season is any season in which a player is on one of the following lists for at least three (3) regular season or post-season games: Active List, Inactive List, Injured Reserve List, or Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP). A player will also earn a Credited Season if he is released injured and paid the equivalent of at least three (3) game checks. Weeks on the Practice Squad will not count toward a Credited Season."
