In short
Keisean Nixon is a starter at left cornerback for GB — 100% of the snaps in his best week of 6. He has a groin injury. This week he did not practise, then practised limited. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 96%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 85 hours before kickoff.
The reader concurs · grade A
Head coach Matt LaFleur, speaking for the club, explicitly confirmed Nixon will play Sunday against Dallas despite his Wednesday absence, and Green Bay issued no game status for him (P3). The week's shape corroborates: DNP Wednesday with the groin (P6), then upgraded to limited Thursday after LaFleur said he 'was feeling a little something in his groin' and was held out as a precaution (P2, P4). Nixon's 73-game consecutive regular-season streak and LaFleur's anecdote further support the PLAY call (P3).

15 calls this week, and the call never flipped between PLAY and SIT. Each lead time is the one that call actually had when it was written — never recounted from now. A call that changes is the record working: new evidence arrived and we said so, in public, before the game.
