The reader dissents · grade B · superseded
The club's own final injury report for this named game lists Washington as Questionable, not Out or Doubtful, while teammates Runyon and Thornton were ruled out — the club was willing to rule players out and did not rule him out (P3). The head coach, the highest-weight source available, said Friday the team expects him to play against the Rams (P2), which directly contradicts a SIT call built on the DNP-Thursday/Friday shape the same report already records (P2). The worsening practice week is real and keeps this short of certainty, but a coach's affirmative expectation plus a Questionable tag points to PLAY, not SIT. It would need to know: Saturday 24 Oct or Sunday 25 Oct pregame update on Washington's foot/back; Official Sunday inactive list for the 25 Oct Raiders-Rams game; Any beat report on whether Washington tested the foot in pregame warmups; Whether Dylan Laube was elevated/given first-team backup reps late in the week — Our call has since changed from SIT to PLAY. This reading was written against the earlier one and is kept as it was; it is not an argument about the call shown above.
