In short
Khalil Shakir is a starter at wide receiver for BUF — 76% of the snaps in his best week of 8. He has a not injury related - personal matter injury. In week 9 he did not practise, then practised in full. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 99%, in a band that plays 94% of the time. We have said PLAY since 67 hours before kickoff.
The reader concurs · grade B
The only club-attributed absence is the Friday DNP for personal reasons, which the club called 'Nothing to worry about here' [P2]. A later passage reports him back at practice on Saturday after that personal absence [P1], which points toward availability for Monday, though it gives no participation level.

The reader's full reasoning
The rest of the reading
The dossier's practice window shows only the Friday reading, so the Saturday return rests on a single aggregator passage and the Sunday level and official designation remain unverified.

12 calls in week 9, and the call never flipped between PLAY and SIT. Each lead time is the one that call actually had when it was written — never recounted from now. A call that changes is the record working: new evidence arrived and we said so, in public, before the game.
