Our call
Injury report
His team's word: Out
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 Out, as ESPN's injury report carries it (the league's report had not yet).
No dated practice report for him in week 10
The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practiced.
Matched on part of his name only (a teammate or someone with the same surname can share it)
