Injury report for Week 3: 63 out, 8 doubtful, 48 questionable across 15 games

Most affected: Chargers at Bills (8 out or doubtful), Seahawks at Commanders (8 out or doubtful), Texans at Colts (7 out or doubtful). Out at key spots: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ARI, S), Ronnie Stanley (BAL, OT), Jordan Hancock (BUF, CB), Claudin Cherelus (CAR, LB), Nick Scott (CAR, S), Devin Lloyd (CAR, LB), Caleb Williams (CHI, QB), Noah Sewell (CHI, LB), Andrei Iosivas (CIN, WR), P.J. Locke (DAL, S). 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.
