73% LIKELY → 98% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him in week 8, earliest first, as written.

In short

Charles Omenihu is a starter at left defensive end for WAS — 70% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has a groin injury. His team named him inactive in weeks 5 and 6. In week 8 he practised limited every day the report covers. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 98%, in a band that plays 94% of the time. We have said PLAY since 296 hours before kickoff. We called him PLAY in week 5 and he did not play.

The reader's full reasoning

The rest of the reading

defensive lineman Charles Omenihu back,' explicitly contrasted with Javon Kinlaw who 'isn't quite ready' (P1) — that is the head coach speaking on the PLAY side for this week, not about a past game. Nothing in P1 contradicts the model's PLAY call, and the steady Limited/Limited/Limited week with no designation yet is consistent with it. The grade is held at B rather than A because no passage covers the newly listed ankle or any Friday game-status designation, so the week's end is unwritten.
