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

In short

Rhamondre Stevenson is a starter at running back for NE — 85% of the snaps in his best week of 7. He has a knee injury. This week he practised limited every day the report covers. His team has listed him Questionable.

The reader concurs · grade C

P1 establishes that the knee issue is CURRENT, not historical — Stevenson was hurt late in last Sunday's game at Buffalo and Vrabel said pre-practice that he was 'expected to sit out the team's first on-field work of Week 5' (P1), which the club's own report then recorded as Limited rather than DNP, a slightly better outcome than Vrabel signalled. The contingency move — working out Jamaal Williams on Tuesday in a move 'likely related to the uncertainty about Stevenson's availability' (P1) — is a genuine caution flag the model's cell-rate does not see, and it is the strongest written argument for a number below 0.906. But nothing in P1 is a ruling-out, no designation has issued, and a Wednesday limited practice on a starter is ordinary; the PLAY call stands even if the probability belongs lower. It would need to know: Thursday (08 Oct) and Friday (09 Oct) Patriots practice participation for Stevenson — DNP, LTD or FULL; The Friday game-status designation (Out / Doubtful / Questionable / none) on the final Week 5 injury report; Vrabel's Thursday or Friday remarks specifically on Stevenson's knee and whether he is trending toward playing Sunday; Whether Jamaal Williams was actually signed to the active roster or practice squad after the Tuesday workout; Status of backup RBs (e.g., whether NE would be thin at the position) for the 11 Oct game
