Injury report for Week 4: 47 out, 5 doubtful, 121 questionable across 15 games

Most affected: Jets at Bears (11 out or doubtful), Dolphins at Vikings (6 out or doubtful), Packers at Buccaneers (5 out or doubtful). Out at key spots: Trey Hendrickson (BAL, LB), Xavier Legette (CAR, WR), Anthony Johnson Jr. (CHI, S), Caleb Williams (CHI, QB), Braxton Jones (CHI, OT), Kyler Gordon (CHI, CB), Noah Sewell (CHI, LB), Kyle Dugger (CIN, S), Colbie Young (CIN, WR), DeMarvion Overshown (DAL, LB). 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.
