Joshua Farmer

How our call moved in week 7

• our call, P(plays)

71% LIKELY → 88% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him in week 7, earliest first, as written.

In short

Joshua Farmer is in the rotation at left defensive end for NE — 39% of the snaps in his best week of 6. He has a not injury related - personal matter injury. His team named him inactive in week 7. His team has not listed him on the final report. We called him PLAY in week 7 and he did not play.

The reader concurs · grade C · superseded

The only club-sourced items are from Tuesday 20 Oct and show Farmer absent for a non-injury reason (P1: "Defensive tackle Joshua Farmer (personal) was also absent"; P2 lists him among estimated non-participants), which is a practice-axis absence, not a game status, and explicitly not an injury. Nothing written says he is doubtful, out, or that the personal matter extends past Tuesday, so there is no prose contradicting the PLAY call. The tension is only that our dossier logs FULL practice while the newest club report we hold shows a DNP — that argues for checking the Wednesday report, not for flipping the call. It would need to know: Patriots' final injury report filed Wed 21 Oct — Farmer's participation level and any game designation (Out/Questionable) for the Thursday 22 Oct game; Whether Farmer returned to the facility/practice after his Tuesday absence, and any Vrabel or club remark on the duration of the personal matter; Thursday 22 Oct inactives list or active roster for Farmer; Whether Farmer was placed on any list (e.g., exempt/reserve) for the personal matter; Status of the other Patriots interior DL (e.g., Milton Williams, Christian Barmore) that would raise or lower the need to dress Farmer — Our call has since changed from PLAY to SIT. This reading was written against the earlier one and is kept as it was; it is not an argument about the call shown above.

His team's own announcement

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 published inactive list, on the day.

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.
