Shape of the week: single reading. Only rows the publisher dated are here; a row we could not date is excluded until the nightly sweep stamps it. No measured play rate exists for most of these patterns, so the shape is a fact and not a forecast.
The reader concurs · grade C
The highest-authority voice available is the head coach, who on the first report day said Diaby "has a bad calf and is questionable for Sunday against the Packers" (P1) — explicit doubt on the game-status axis for this named game, which supports a SIT-side call. An independent account confirms he was a non-participant on Wednesday and carried calf and shoulder (P2), matching our DNP line. Nothing in either passage postdates Wednesday, so neither contradicts nor confirms the improving Thursday limited work in our own record; the call stands but the week is unresolved. It would need to know: Bucs' Friday Oct 2 practice participation line for Diaby (DNP / limited / full); The official final Week 4 game-status designation for Diaby (Out / Doubtful / Questionable) on the Friday Oct 2 report; Any Bowles or Diaby remark dated Oct 1-3 on the calf trending up, or whether this is a game-time decision; Whether Rueben Bain (groin/shoulder) is ruled out for Oct 4, which would raise the pressure to play Diaby through the calf (P2); Sunday Oct 4 inactives list for Tampa Bay
