His team's own announcement
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).
No dated practice report for him this week
The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practiced.
