Every call we wrote for him in week 7, earliest first, as written.

In short

Broderick Jones is a backup at right tackle for DAL — 13% of the snaps in his best week of 7. He has a wrist injury. In week 7 he practised limited, then practised in full. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 86%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 51 hours before kickoff, and we changed our mind on the way. We called him SIT in week 7 and he played.

The reader concurs · grade B

The only club-sourced report this week places Jones on the practising side of the ledger — 'limited in Friday's practice' with a wrist (P1) — and explicitly distinguishes him from Shelton, Turpin and Winters, who 'remained out of practice' (P1), so the injury is current but non-disqualifying. No designation exists yet because the final injury report for the Monday Eagles game was not due until Saturday (P1), which is consistent with the model's pre-designation extrapolation rather than contradicting it. Nothing in the passages points toward a SIT call, so the call stands; only the unverified FULL practice line keeps this off an A. It would need to know: Saturday 24 Oct final injury report designation for Broderick Jones (Questionable/Doubtful/Out) for the Monday 26 Oct Eagles game; Saturday/Sunday practice participation for Jones — did the wrist go from limited to full, or regress to DNP (the dossier's FULL line has no club report behind it); Whether Drew Shelton (hamstring) was ruled out or returned, which changes Jones's swing-tackle value as a backup; Any coach or club remark on whether Jones can punch/brace with the wrist, or on him as a gameday-inactive candidate
