This is the TEAM'S OWN ANNOUNCEMENT, not a reading of ours. His team filed him on the injury report and we are restating it so the record is complete.

No dated practice report for him in week 10
The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practiced.
