'''Non-football injury''' and '''non-football illness''' lists ('''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==
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==
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.<ref></ref>
==Notable examples==
[[Willis McGahee]] spent his entire rookie season on the [[Buffalo Bills]]' non-football injury list due to the major knee injury he sustained in the [[2003 Fiesta Bowl]] while in college.<ref></ref> [[New England Patriots]] tackle [[Marcus Cannon]] began his rookie season on the non-football illness list as he recovered from [[chemotherapy]] for [[non-Hodgkin lymphoma]] in 2011.<ref></ref>
