The Reserve/physically unable to perform list is a short-term list that includes players who were unable to pass their physical when they arrived at camp. Players with this status are not included toward the team's 90-man roster. Players on this list are ineligible for the first six weeks of the regular season and are not permitted to practice. The Titans placed Taylor Lewan on the reserve/physically unable to perform list on July 28, 2015. Titans general manager Jon Robinson said after placing Lewan on the PUP list that they will reevaluate his status after week 6. If he is still on the list after week 6 then he will be eligible to return to play. However, if he clears the list before week 6 then he cannot return until the next year's draft. Players can be put on the reserve/physically unable to perform list if they have a major injury that requires surgery or prolonged rest to recover from. Some examples of this include: knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, and neck injuries. Once a player has been placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, they can be removed from it at any time before they start practicing again. This allows them to heal up without playing right away. A player can also be removed from the list during the season if they are able to pass a physical exam or if they are no longer physically unable to perform all of their duties.
