In short
Andrew Mukuba is a starter at free safety for PHI — 100% of the snaps in his best week of 6. He has a shoulder injury. This week he practised in full every day the report covers. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 89%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 78 hours before kickoff.
The reader concurs · grade B
Mukuba was a full participant on both reported practice days of this week with the shoulder listed — Wednesday (P4: 'safety Andrew Mukuba (shoulder) were full participants'; confirmed by the club-page listing in P3) and Thursday (P2: 'safety Andrew Mukuba (shoulder) were all listed as full participants'). Forward-looking beat coverage of Sunday's game assumes he is in the lineup, discussing who starts alongside him: 'Marcus Epps could take his place back in the lineup as the safety next to Andrew Mukuba in nickel packages' (P1). Nothing in the passages contradicts the PLAY call; the only gap is the absence of a Friday report or a final designation, which keeps this at B rather than A. It would need to know: Friday 16 Oct Eagles practice participation line for Mukuba (full/limited/DNP); Final game-status designation for Mukuba (none/Questionable/Doubtful/Out) on the Fri/Sat report for the Sun 18 Oct game; Sunday 18 Oct Philadelphia inactives list, and any practice-squad safety elevation on Sat 17 Oct; Any Sirianni or Fangio comment this week specifically on Mukuba's shoulder or his expected snap count

14 calls this week, and the call never flipped between PLAY and SIT. Each lead time is the one that call actually had when it was written — never recounted from now. A call that changes is the record working: new evidence arrived and we said so, in public, before the game.
