How to read NFL practice reports

DNP means did not practice, LP means limited participation and FP means full participation. An estimated designation describes what a player would have done if the team had held practice. Rest days remain labeled. A blank is not a full practice and does not establish availability.

Practice participation and game status are different. A full practice does not guarantee a player will play; an expected return is an outlook, not a medical clearance. Check the dated reports and confirmed game status as kickoff approaches.

From injury report to fantasy decision

Use the FIT Injury Data Center to compare historical performance after an injury. Sample sizes and the calculation methodology explain what the data can and cannot tell you. Player profiles provide additional injury context; full profile access may require membership.
