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

In short

Jeremy McNichols is a backup at running back for WAS — 18% of the snaps in his best week of 1. He has a quadricep injury. This week he practised in full. His team has listed him Questionable. We called him PLAY in week 5 and he did not play.

The reader concurs · grade B

P1 states the club's own head coach placed McNichols on injured reserve and merely in his practice window as of 15 Oct ([P1] 'running back Jeremy McNichols, who are also on IR and in the midst of their practice windows'), so the FULL practice line is a practice-axis fact and does not make him game-eligible without an activation transaction. P1 also shows the club distinguishes IR practice-window players from active-roster players such as Nick Cross ('Same with safety Nick Cross, who is on the active roster'), and shows activation is an explicit separate step ('The Commanders brought defensive lineman Deatrich Wise back from IR last week'). Nothing in the dossier or passages records such an activation for McNichols, so the SIT call stands even though I would put the probability well below 0.340. It would need to know: Washington transaction wire 13-19 Oct showing whether McNichols was activated from IR to the 53-man roster before the Monday 19 Oct game; Official final injury/game status report (Out / Questionable / Active) for McNichols for the Monday 19 Oct game; Date the 21-day practice window opened and days remaining; Dan Quinn comments on whether activation is targeted for this week or after the bye

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).
