Every call we wrote for him in week 9, earliest first, as written.
In short
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is a starter at strong safety for CLE — 95% of the snaps in his best week of 9. He has a hip injury. In week 9 he practised limited every day the report covers. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 92%, in a band that plays 94% of the time. We have said PLAY since 68 hours before kickoff.
The reader concurs · grade C
The only passage on him is the Thursday club report, which lists him as a limited participant with a hip injury [P1]. It gives no Friday status and no Sunday designation, so the card's LP final day and last-game sit are unconfirmed and no passage contradicts a PLAY call [P1].

The reader's full reasoning
The rest of the reading
The call stays PLAY at grade C, since the written evidence is thin and the hip-plus-sit pattern is the main reason to look harder [P1].

12 calls in week 9, 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.
