Injury report for Week 3: 5 out, 0 doubtful, 11 questionable across 1 games
From the archive. This item is no longer current; the numbers below are as they stood when it was written.
Most affected: Falcons at Packers (5 out or doubtful). Out at key spots: Tua Tagovailoa (ATL, QB), Billy Bowman Jr. (ATL, CB), Zach Bako-Bewele (GB, OT). Every game page carries the full list for both teams.
Statuses are ESPN's, refreshed every three hours. Out and doubtful players are treated as unavailable; questionable players usually play (league-wide, roughly two in three). Only the quarterback feeds the model directly, through the Elo adjustment; everything else is priced by the market, which is one reason The System weights the market three to one.
A backup at a skill position moves a spread by a point or less; a starting quarterback moves it by three to seven. Compare a game's injury list with its line movement to see what the market has already absorbed.
