NFL PUP list, Injured Reserve, NFI list rules and the New York Giants

Explaining the different NFL injury lists and how they impact the Giants.

The NFL has a veritable alphabet soup of injury lists that can be used for players in various circumstances. PUP, NFI, short-term IR/ designated to return (IR/DTR, if you will). Judging from the @BigBlueView Twitter feed and some of the comments here at BBV in the wake of New York Giants safety Nat Berhe announcing he will undergo surgery Friday for a hardened blood clot in his there is a lot of confusion over what each list means, and which players on the Giants are eligible for them.
