The full read
In short
Max Mitchell is a backup at left tackle for NYJ — 3% of the snaps in his best week of 6. His team named him inactive in week 7. In week 7 he did not practise every day the report covers. 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 B
P1 places the concussion inside this practice week rather than in the past: 'offensive lineman Max Mitchell (concussion)... did not practice on Thursday', which matches the dossier's Thu/Fri DNP line in the 19-24 Oct window. Nothing in P1 reports clearance from protocol, any upgrade to limited, or any coach statement contradicting the club's Out/Doubtful designation. A concussed backup tackle with zero practice participation and a club Out/Doubtful tag supports the SIT call; the probability's exact level is immaterial since he sits either way. It would need to know: The Jets' official Friday/Saturday game-status designation for Mitchell (Out vs Doubtful) for the 25 Oct game; Whether Mitchell cleared the NFL concussion protocol before Sunday 25 Oct; Any Aaron Glenn/HC remark specifically on Mitchell's availability for Sunday; Whether the Jets elevated or signed a replacement swing tackle for Week 8
