The reader concurs · grade B

Henley was a limited participant Thursday (P3) and carries only a questionable tag on the Friday report (P1, P2), the mildest available designation — the club separately ruled out Alt, Awosika, Harris, Jackson and James and tagged Shelley doubtful (P2), showing it was willing to declare men out when it meant it. He is described as having the second-most defensive snaps on the team and leading the Chargers in tackles (P1), which argues for a starter the club wants on the field. The only friction is the injury label — knee on the Friday report (P1) versus shoulder on Thursday's participation list (P3) — but neither passage suggests deterioration, so the PLAY call stands. It would need to know: Sunday 18 Oct LAC inactives list for the Chiefs game; Harbaugh or beat-writer remark on whether Henley is expected to play through the knee/shoulder issue; Whether the Friday report lists Henley with knee (P1) or shoulder (P3) — i.e. whether a second injury appeared mid-week; Saturday practice-squad elevation of a linebacker signalling a replacement for Henley
