Injury report

The weekly roster read

The weekly roster read listed him on a reserve list. That is a list, not an announcement by his team, and it is not a reading of ours. His team has listed no game designation for him this week. Source: the weekly roster read of reserve lists (injured reserve, PUP, NFI, suspended).

No dated practice report for him in week 9

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