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

In short

Omar Speights is a starter at right inside linebacker for LA — 60% of the snaps in his best week of 6. He has a knee injury. This week he practised in full every day the report covers. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 99%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 81 hours before kickoff.

The reader concurs · grade B

Both club-sourced practice days inside this week have Speights practicing fully with the knee: the Wednesday 14 Oct report lists 'LB Omar Speights (Knee) - Full' (P2) and the Thursday report has him 'a full participant for a second consecutive day' (P1). He is explicitly separated from the players who were limited or did not practice — Allen DNP, Landman, Parkinson and Wallace limited (P1, P3) — and nothing in the prose suggests a new or worsening issue. The passages cover only the practice axis, not a game-status designation, so the call is supported but not settled. It would need to know: Friday 16 Oct final Rams injury report and the game-status designation (Out/Doubtful/Questionable/none) listed for Omar Speights; Sunday 18 Oct Rams inactive list; Any McVay remark this week on Speights' knee or a snap-count/rotation plan; Whether Nate Landman (wrist/shoulder) is out, which would raise Speights' snap load
