UNDERSTANDING THE NFL'S INJURY REPORT
The injury report released by the NFL is two reports. The first is the Practice Participation report, which lists which injured players were able to practice and how much. It also includes players who rested or missed practice for non-injury-related reasons. The second is the Game Status Report, which gives the probability a player will play, i.e., Questionable, Doubtful, Out. The Practice Participation Report is released every day of the week (Monday through Saturday). The Game Status Report is released with the Friday participation report (Wednesday for Thursday games, Saturday for Monday games).
In this feature, I'll include the Game Status Listing, my expectation of their likelihood to play, and the player's practice participation throughout the week.

Nick Chubb | Foot | Not listed | Expected to play
Practice Participation: Tues - DNP | Wed - DNP | Thurs - Limited
Chubb did not practice Tuesday or Wednesday with what was described as a sore foot. The Browns did not list Chubb on the game status report after he was cleared to return to practice Thursday. He spoke with the media and is expected to play.
There are no indications the team plans to limit his touches.
