The full read
In short
Jack Sanborn is a special-teams player at strong-side linebacker for CHI — 77% of the kicking snaps over 6 weeks. His team named him inactive in week 7. His team has not listed him on the final report. We called him PLAY in week 7 and he did not play.
The reader concurs · grade A
The club's own release states two Bears were ruled out for this game, including "linebacker Jack Sanborn (concussion)" (P2), and the same is reported independently (P1). He was a non-participant for the second straight day on the 21 Oct estimated report with no upgrade (P3), after DNPs on 20 Oct (P4, P5). An official "ruled out" on the final report before a Thursday game settles the matter.
