Reading an availability update
- Diagnosis ≠ game status
- An injury description does not by itself say whether a player will miss the next game. Look for a dated team designation.
- Timelines can change
- A projected return, a practice appearance and clearance to compete are different milestones. Follow the latest report in sequence.
- Before making a decision
- Check the team's newest announcement. This archive is reporting history, not a live injury-status service or medical advice.
