In football, DNP stands for "Did Not Practice". It is an injury designation or status for a player on a teams daily or weekly injury report, indicating that the player did not participate in the teams most recent practice session. This information is crucial for coaches, players, and fans alike, as it often provides a glimpse into a players injury status or potential availability for upcoming games. A player could be given the DNP designation for various reasons, such as injuries, rest, or personal matters. In fantasy football, DNP is an acronym used to let managers know if their player did not participate in practice that day.
