In short
Jonathan Ford is in the rotation at nose tackle for GB — 43% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has a calf injury. His snaps dropped last week. Of players in that position who did play the following week, 43% took under 70% of their usual snaps. This week he did not practise every day the report covers. His team has listed him Out. We called him PLAY in week 6 and he did not play.
The reader concurs · grade A
The Packers themselves announced on Saturday, Oct. 17 that they "placed nose tackle Jonathan Ford, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and receiver Skyy Moore on injured reserve" (P1), making him ineligible for the Oct. 18 game and corroborated by the elevation of replacements from the practice squad (P1). This follows the club's own Oct. 15 report listing Ford "(calf)" among those "ruled out" (P3) and the Oct. 14 report showing he "did not participate" (P5), a steady DNP week that Acme Packing Company said put his chances to play "likely in doubt" (P2). The SIT call is settled by the club's own transaction, not inference.
