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.
