Here's some info on the PUP list:

NFL rules allow teams to designate players as "Physically Unable to Perform." Once they are designated as such, they are prohibited from practicing with the team. They can, however, rehabilitate and participate in team meetings. If a player begins training camp on the PUP list, they can be moved to the active roster at any time, even after one practice. A player is not allowed to be placed on the PUP list if they start training camp on the active roster.

And another example using a specific player:

According to NFL rules there are two physically unable to perform designations, active and reserve. If Miller is unable to practice Saturday the Bucs likely will place him on the active list, enabling the team to evaluate his progress in camp and activate him any time before the final cutdown date.

After the final cuts on Aug. 31 the Bucs must place Miller either on the reserve physically unable list, on injured reserve or release him.

If on the reserve physically unable list, Miller must sit out six weeks of the season. The Bucs then would have a three-week period to evaluate him or activate him. Before the start of the 10th week the team must place Miller on injured reserve the rest of the season, release him or activate him to the 53-man roster.

"When you're on (physically unable to perform), you can't (practice)," Gruden said. "You can be in attendance, you can go to the meetings. There's still value there, not that our system is that hard, but he could sit in the meeting rooms and make the mental corrections. And with a veteran player, an experienced guy, sometimes that's invaluable."

By the way, the rules for the non-football injury list are the same as PUP.  Haha.

By being placed on these lists, the players can still play in 2005 but not until week six of the regular season. If any of these players were put on the Injured Reserve list, their season would be officially over.

If any of the four players return between weeks 6-9 of the season, the Eagles have 21 days to either activate him on the 53-man roster or put him on the Injured Reserve list.
