In short
Alec Ingold is in the rotation at fullback for LAC — 45% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has a shoulder injury. He left last week's game. Of players in that position who did play the following week, 45% took under 70% of their usual snaps. This week he did not practise. His team has not listed him on the final report. We called him PLAY in week 6 and he did not play.
The reader concurs · grade A
The Chargers placed Ingold on injured reserve on Thursday 15 Oct, inside this game's practice week, and he 'will miss the next four games at minimum' (P1). That is a current club roster transaction, not a historical one, and it rules him out of Sunday 18 Oct. It fully corroborates the model's SIT call at p=0.000 (P1).

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).
