What could disqualify a player from being placed on the PUP list?

A player may be disqualified from being placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list if they have been cleared by a team doctor. The PUP list is primarily designed for players who are unable to participate in practice or games due to medical issues, typically related to injuries. If a player has been medically cleared, it indicates that they are fit to play, and thus, they no longer qualify for placement on the PUP list.

The other options relate to eligibility and status that do not have a direct impact on a player's ability to be placed on the PUP list. For example, accrued seasons pertain to a player’s experience in the league, while participating in a preseason game or being on a practice squad does not affect the medical criteria that govern eligibility for the PUP list.
