In 2026 through week 8 he was listed at depth rank 2 on his club's depth chart; he had played 7 games on 58% of snaps; his line was 46.4 receiving yards a game, 7.1 targets a game and a 22.1% target share (Possession receiver by the published rule). Before 2026 he played 138 games (postseason included) over 10 seasons with 6 Pro Bowls. His injury history held 28 episodes (hip 4, knee 4, ankle 3), 4 of them reaching OUT, 15 a repeat of an earlier site; the last was an ankle injury in 2024 week 14.

  • our call, P(plays)

99% EXPECTED → 99% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him in week 9, earliest first, as written.

In short

Keenan Allen is a starter at wide receiver for IND — 73% of the snaps in his best week of 8. He has a not injury related - resting player injury. His team named him inactive in week 4. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 99%, in a band that plays 94% of the time. We have said PLAY since 82 hours before kickoff. We called him PLAY in week 4 and he did not play.

The reader concurs · grade B

Both missed practice days were described as scheduled rest, not injury: "Both were on scheduled rest days" (P3), and he was "rested yesterday" before returning to full participation on Thursday (P1). P2 confirms he "practiced in full after having rest days," and P3 projected full participation for the rest of the week.

The rest of the reading

The card's Week 8 sit is history for last week's game and does not bear on this one; the club-report Friday FP and trend up are dossier fields and point the same way as the passages.

13 calls in week 9, and the call never flipped between PLAY and SIT. Each lead time is the one that call actually had when it was written — never recounted from now. A call that changes is the record working: new evidence arrived and we said so, in public, before the game.
