In the NFL, it’s up to each team to list a player who might be dealing with an injury on the weekly report. Not doing so can lead to penalties from the league, though it rarely happens.

Some teams are more conservative than others when it comes to listing players on the report, particularly with regards to questionable and doubtful tags heading into a game. The NFL got rid of the probable tag in the past few years, making it easier for teams to list player son the report.

As a result, there are now just three tags: questionable, doubtful or out. It’s fairly obvious what each one means with questionable indicating it’s unclear if a player will be active on game day. Doubtful suggests the player won’t be active with only four players listed as doubtful in the NFL this season playing in the game.

On average, about 67 percent of players listed as questionable were active for the game that week, according to a report by Dr. David Chao, or as he’s better known on Twitter, Pro Football Doc, for The San Diego Union-Tribune. The Rams, however, were more conservative than most with the questionable tag.

Only nine of 24 players, or 43 percent, listed as questionable played that week. That ranked 29th in the NFL this past season, showing that a player really was injured when listed on the report in the days leading up to the game.

The Buccaneers, for comparison’s sake, seemingly listed players as questionable even though they were mostly healthy. According to the report, 96 percent of their players (53 of 55) listed as questionable wound up playing that week — by far the highest total in the NFL.

If there’s one thing we can take from the report, it’s that the league could use the probable tag again. Fifty-three of 55 doesn’t exactly scream “questionable.”
