NFL removes 'probable' designation from team injury reports

nerdmann just pissed AND shit himself.

Under the revised policy, approved recently by the NFL competition committee, the "probable" category has been eliminated and the remaining classifications have been redefined.

Two days before kickoff, teams must list injured players as "questionable," "doubtful" or "out" for that game.

"Questionable" players, per the policy, are "uncertain" to play. Previously, the definition was that there was a 50 percent likelihood of playing.

"Doubtful" means the player is "unlikely" to participate in the game, and "out" means he "will not play." The previous definition for "doubtful" was a 75 percent likelihood that he would not play.

They should make it even simpler. "Probable" meaning there is a chance he will play and "Out" meaning he won't play.

I like having only one designation.

Hurt and none of you business if they will play or not.

How about "If they play, you will see them on the field. If you DON'T see them on the field, they won't play."

Or maybe "He has a boo-boo. So he will play"
And "He has an ouchy, so he won't play".

So just tell them it's "nunya' , as in it's nunya damn business .

Well that might be just fine if your speaking for your team , but what about the opposition ?

The whole point is to be as fair as possible in how information is or is not disclosed . Where the line is drawn is the question, and I say all teams walk the line most of the time . None want to disclose and all want full disclosure . Rules agreed upon by the owners must be adhered to and punishment/s need to be set prior to beginning the new season .

This matters most to the talking heads that pretend to analyze football all week and tell the dwindling audience exactly what will happen in a football game.

Probably for the best. How many guys designated "probable" ended up not playing in games last year? Only a handful I would imagine.

I know there are fines for not putting injured guys on the report. I remember Denver got hit one time and the next few weeks their injury report was 3 times longer than anyone else's. If a player is not listed on the report and ends up not playing the team has to submit a reason why and if the league isn't satisfied with the reason the team can be disciplined. To me this would mean the number players listed as questionable will certainly go up as teams will not want to risk the fine. A guy tweaks his ankle on Wednesday and limps off the field, the staff is 99% certain he will play on Sunday but because there is that 1% chance he won't play they don't want to not put him on the list so now the only option is questionable. He is probably going to play but he has to be listed as questionable now so instead of 95% of the "probable" players playing we will see 85% of the questionable players playing. How is that better.

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.
