Garrett Practiced Wednesday. Half the Reps, Then an Evaluation. That's a Plan, Not a Promise.

I don't think he plays Sunday, Nov. 8, at Washington, less sure: 76% → 70%.

Monday it was 'he'll practice this week.' Wednesday, Nov. 4, he did: Garrett was back on the field in a limited capacity, with McVay planning about half his reps before seeing how the knee responds. His status for Sunday, Nov. 8, at Washington is still uncertain, per the Kid's file.

That's worth six points toward him playing. I still don't think he plays, but I'm less sure: 76% → 70%. Day one went the way day one is supposed to go. What it doesn't tell me is the evaluation. My read, not a report: half reps after arthroscopic surgery is a team managing a joint, and a managed Wednesday doesn't usually turn into a full Sunday in the same week. SI's after-the-bye read from last cycle is still on the table.

Watch Thursday's and Friday's practice reports. A full session moves me a lot; another limited one barely moves me at all. The season call, fewer than eight sacks, holds at 88%.
