89% EXPECTED → 91% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him this week, earliest first, as written.

In short

Tyree Wilson is in the rotation at right defensive end for NO — 54% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has an ankle 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. His team named him inactive in week 3. This week he practised limited, then practised in full. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 91%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 78 hours before kickoff.

The reader concurs · grade D

The only passage is a Week 5 retrospective roundup from a Raiders blog that mentions Wilson among 'a few old friends' and does not address his ankle, his practice participation, or his status for Sunday 18 Oct (P1). Nothing written contradicts the club's own report of a Wed Limited -> Thu Full progression with no designation, so the PLAY call stands on the dossier alone; the prose neither supports nor undercuts it (P1). It would need to know: Official Week 6 game-status designation (Out/Doubtful/Questionable/none) for the Sun 18 Oct game; Friday 16 Oct practice participation report for Wilson's ankle; Coach or club remark on the severity/timeline of the ankle injury; Confirmation he was active and snap-counted in last week's game, i.e. whether the ankle has cost him any time

14 calls this week, 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.
