Non-football injury and non-football illness (NFI) are roster designations used in the National Football League (NFL) for players who are unable to practice as a result of conditions unrelated to football, or injuries that did not occur during NFL games or practices. They are similar to the physically unable to perform and injured reserve lists.
Active/NFI
[(View source for Non-football injury and illness - Wikipedia)]
Players who report to training camp injured or ill due to injuries or illnesses sustained outside of NFL practices or games can be placed on the active/non-football injury or active/non-football illness lists while they recover. A player cannot remain on an NFI list if they participate in a practice or game during the preseason. Players on these lists still count towards the 90-man roster limits prior to the start of the regular season. If a player on the active/NFI list is still injured or ill by the final roster cutdown date, they can be placed on the reserve/non-football injury or reserve/non-football illness lists and not count towards the 53-man roster limit.
Reserve/NFI
[View source for Non-football injury and illness - Wikipedia)]
Players on the reserve/non-football injury or reserve/non-football illness lists are ineligible to practice or play in games for the first six weeks of the regular season. After six weeks, a player can begin practicing with their team but cannot be moved to the active roster until after the team has played its first eight games of the season. When a player starts practicing, a three-week window begins in which the player can be moved to the active roster. If a player does not get activated after the three-week window ends, they must remain on the reserve/NFI list for the rest of the season. Only up to two players from the NFI lists are eligible to return to the active roster for each NFL team.[1] NFL teams are not required to pay base salaries to players placed on the reserve/non-football injury or reserve/non-football illness lists.[2]
Next Manu up, I say.
Kid is raw raw.
Might be one of those “IR” years for him
2025 3rd round draft pick
Get him a year early in our program/System
Take it slow
If he’s on IR during the season, I’m pretty sure that he can’t practice with the team except for 3 weeks window before he’s activated. If he’s on IR at the beginning of the season, he can’t practice with the team during the season. IIRC.
Manu needs to practice with the team to enhance his development. So any IR for Manu is the real deal, IMO.
Wasn’t expecting him to play this year at all.
ManU was relegated to the NFI? Bet the hooligans are pissed!
what is NFI ? No Further Information?
It means he got hurt saving a meatlovers pizza in his truck.
Or playing beach volleyball. Or falling down his stairs.
what, no chasing puppies!?
Manu, Manu…
Dickfish!
Everyone has their panties in a bunch over nothing. Almost every player who was put on NFI was only on it for 1 day and removed. Some had to do with the physical stamina testing they had to perform day 1.
This is less than a nothing burger
He’s been activated along with several others.
like this???
