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

In short

Mac McWilliams is a backup at nickelback for PHI — 4% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has a hamstring injury. This week he practised in full. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 75%, in a band that plays 76% of the time. We have said PLAY since 35 hours before kickoff.

The reader concurs · grade C

The single passage is a Wed 14 Oct injury-report roundup that names McWilliams only as an existing cornerback-depth option, not as a hurt or limited player, and it goes out of its way to flag other players' injuries (Epenesa's back, Jenkins' toe) without flagging his hamstring (P1). Its seven-man FULL PARTICIPATION list does not include him (P1), which is ambiguous — it may simply mean he was not on the Wednesday report at all — but nothing in the prose contradicts a PLAY call off a Friday Full practice. The only caution P1 raises is roster-based rather than health-based: the Eagles "could eventually look to activate Bennett if they prefer him over Jonathan Jones and/or Mac McWilliams" (P1), a speculative depth-chart risk, not a current injury or inactive designation. It would need to know: Wed 14 Oct and Thu 15 Oct practice participation lines for Mac McWilliams (dossier has only Fri Full); Final game-status designation (none/questionable/doubtful/out) issued Fri 16 or Sat 17 Oct for McWilliams ahead of Sun 18 Oct vs. the listed opponent; Whether the Eagles activated CB Bennett from IR during the week, which P1 flags as a possible roster squeeze on McWilliams; Health/status of Jonathan Jones and the other Eagles CBs, to gauge whether McWilliams is needed as active depth; Any coach remark (Sirianni or DC) on McWilliams' hamstring
