Reggie Gilliam

ROLE in the rotation
EXP 6 seasons
AGE 29-31
DEPTH FB1

As of week 9, Reggie Gilliam was an RB for NE, age 29, 6 seasons of experience. In 2026 through week 8 he was listed at depth rank 1 on his club's depth chart; he had played 4 games on 22% of snaps. Before 2026 he played 108 games (postseason included) over 6 seasons. His injury history held 12 episodes (ankle 3, knee 3, hamstring 2), 4 of them reaching OUT, 6 a repeat of an earlier site; the last was an ankle injury in 2026 week 5.

The full read

In short

Reggie Gilliam is in the rotation at fullback for NE — 36% of the snaps in his best week of 4. He has a not stated injury. His team has not listed him on the final report. We called him PLAY in week 5 and he did not play.

The reader concurs · grade B

The most recent written status is that he remains in the injured-reserve return group, with 'FB Reggie Gilliam' listed among those still there [P3]. The passages say he was only 'eligible to return to practice this week,' which is not practice participation or activation [P4].

The reader's full reasoning

The rest of the reading

The Nov 5 pieces describe him as an award nominee and fullback without addressing game availability [P1][P2], so they do not overturn the SIT call.

Our call

Injury report

The weekly roster read

The weekly roster read listed him on a reserve list. That is a list, not an announcement by his team, and it is not a reading of ours. His team has listed no game designation for him this week. Source: the weekly roster read of reserve lists (injured reserve, PUP, NFI, suspended).

No dated practice report for him in week 9

The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practiced.
