The reader concurs · grade A

P1, dated Friday 23 Oct inside this practice week, states that 'the Falcons have ruled four players out for Sunday's game' and names 'lineman Michael Jerrell' among them — an explicit game-status Out for the 25 Oct game from the club's own beat reporting, not a historical note. This supersedes P2's Wednesday report, which only listed 'OT Michael Jerrell (bicep)' as a limited participant with the coach 'Not ruling anybody in or out at this point'. The SIT call is settled.

His team's word: Out

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. There is nothing early about repeating an announcement — what we say ahead of one is on the week's page. Source: his team's own word, restated.

No dated practice report for him in week 7

The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practiced.
