In short
Charles Snowden is in the rotation at weak-side linebacker for ATL — 43% of the snaps in his best week of 2. He has a back injury. In week 8 he practised limited every day the report covers. His team has listed him Questionable.
The reader dissents · grade B · superseded
The club's own Friday report lists Snowden as QUESTIONABLE with a back injury and limited participation, while naming Brian Robinson as the only OUT (P1), and the AJC states explicitly that 'Atlanta hasn't ruled out anybody else to play Sunday' (P2) — a Questionable tag after an unbroken limited week normally resolves to active. He was a limited participant Wednesday (P5) and again Thursday (P3, P4) with no regression, so there is no written sign of a setback that would justify a SIT call. The same reports show the DE room thinned by Ebukam (hamstring), Za'Darius Smith (rest) and Cam Thomas (groin) (P3), which raises rather than lowers the rotational need for a third-string end. — Our call has since changed from SIT to PLAY. This reading was written against the earlier one and is kept as it was; it is not an argument about the call shown above.
