We say who plays, days before the team does
Every player on this week's injury report gets a call from us — and we write it down, timestamped, before his team has announced anything. Nothing here can be edited afterwards. See how the calls have scored.
This page shows the calls from about a day before kickoff; clients see them from Wednesday.

Who the teams cannot easily replace
Every man here is listed first or second at his position on his team's own published depth chart, and there is something to say about his availability. The order is that rank, then what the team has said, then the share of snaps he has actually played. We invent no importance score — both halves are facts somebody else published.

What we expect, before anyone has announced it — least certain first. Each call carries a band: a group of players we have scored the same way in the past, with the share of them who actually played. Only the two outer bands are decisive. How this works.

What the teams have already said
These are not our calls. When a team rules a player out on its own injury report, we repeat it here so the week is complete — and we take no credit for it. Anyone can read an announcement; being early is the part that is ours, and that is the table above.
| Player | Pos | Team | Opp | Injury | Call | Band | Lead |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anfernee Jennings | LB | NO | ATL | Knee | SIT confident | NOT EXPECTED | 78 h |
| Kaden Elliss | LB | NO | ATL | Calf | SIT confident | NOT EXPECTED | 78 h |
| Carl Granderson | LB | NO | ATL | Ankle | SIT confident | NOT EXPECTED | 78 h |
What a call is not
A PLAY call means we expect him on the field, not that he is healthy. Of the calls that are ours rather than a team's announcement, almost none are scratches, and that is a property of the problem rather than a gap: at this base rate almost nothing moves a case far enough to call a scratch with confidence. How this works.
