14 calls this week, and it never changed. 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.
The team's own practice report, day by day
| Day | Practice | Dated by the publisher |
|---|---|---|
| Fri | practised limited | 2026-10-03 |
| Sat | practised limited | 2026-10-03 |
| Thu | practised limited | 2026-10-03 |
Shape of the week: steady. Only rows the publisher dated are here; a row we could not date is excluded until the nightly sweep stamps it. No measured play rate exists for most of these patterns, so the shape is a fact and not a forecast.

The model reads the room: who else is out shifts what his own designation is worth.
The team's own list. We held it after kickoff, so it could NOT have informed a call. Matched to him by his player id.
his depth-chart position, snap history and previous injuries (research substrate, not the product database); the reader's opinion — it has not read him this week.
