In short

Zach Wood is a backup at long snapper for NO — 0% of the snaps in his best week of 2. He has a calf injury. This week he practised in full every day the report covers. His team has listed him Questionable.

The reader concurs · grade B

The club itself, through EVP/GM Mickey Loomis, stated on 14 Oct that New Orleans 'placed long snapper Zach Wood on Injured Reserve/Designated to Return after returning to practice today' (P1) — a team transaction statement that outranks a practice sheet and explains how FULL Wed/Thu/Fri lines can coexist with unavailability, since the practice return is exactly the IR/DTR window trigger. Nothing in the passages records an activation to the active roster, and a player on IR/DTR cannot be on the gameday 53 until formally restored (P1). The call to SIT is therefore supported; the precise decimal is secondary. It would need to know: A Saints transaction notice activating Zach Wood from Injured Reserve/Designated to Return to the 53-man roster on or before Sun 18 Oct; The official Fri 16 Oct New Orleans game status report (does Wood appear on it at all, and with what designation); Whether New Orleans signed or elevated a replacement long snapper for the 18 Oct game

His team's word: Questionable

This is the TEAM'S OWN ANNOUNCEMENT, not a reading of ours. His team filed him on the injury report and we are restating it so the record is complete. There is nothing early about repeating an announcement — what we say ahead of one is on the week's page. Source: his team's reserve list (injured reserve, PUP, NFI, suspended).

Practice this week

Shape of the week: steady. Only days the publisher dated are shown; a day we could not date is left out until the nightly sweep stamps it. The shape is a fact, not a forecast.
