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.
