In short
A.J. Terrell is a starter at left cornerback for ATL — 100% of the snaps in his best week of 4. He has a groin injury. In week 8 he practised limited, then practised in full. 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 69 hours before kickoff. We called him PLAY in week 3 and he did not play.

The reader's full reasoning
The rest of the reading
'RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) OUT'), so the absence of a designation on his line is meaningful rather than missing data. That confirms the dossier's improving shape — limited Wednesday with a groin alongside three other DBs (P2), limited Thursday (P1), full and undesignated Friday (P3). Nothing in the prose reports a new injury, a setback, or a DNP for him, so the PLAY call stands.

12 calls in week 8, 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.
