This is the CLUB'S OWN ANNOUNCEMENT, not a reading of ours. His club filed him on the injury report and we are restating it so the record is complete. There is nothing early about repeating an announcement — what we say ahead of one is on the week's page.
the club's own announcement, restated
The club's own practice report, day by day
| Day | Practice | Dated by the publisher |

| Wed | DNP | 2026-10-02 |
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 reader dissents · grade C
P1 describes an acute, in-game knee injury in which Jones's 'right leg appeared to buckle on a bull rush' and he 'needed help getting off the field' before being listed 'questionable to return' — a mechanism and severity profile that argues against the model's generic 65% knee baseline, and it is paired here with a current DNP. P1 also shows the Bears already had to go to a backup left tackle in-game (Theo Benedet replaced Jones), so a replacement path exists. The dossier's own measured record reinforces the dissent: in 519 graded calls on this practice line only 23% played and the model was right 31% of the time, so a DNP plus an assisted-off-the-field knee injury should sit well below 0.676. It would need to know: Official Wed/Thu/Fri practice participation reports for Braxton Jones and whether a game designation (Out/Doubtful/Questionable) was issued; Any Ben Johnson or Bears staff remark on the severity/timeline of Jones's knee (e.g., MRI result, weeks missed, IR placement); Whether Theo Benedet or Ozzy Trapilo has been named the starting left tackle for this week; Confirmation that the 2026-09-29 in-game knee injury is the same injury behind the current DNP, not a resolved historical one

The model reads the room: who else is out shifts what his own designation is worth.
