How the estimate changed
Why: the nflverse injury file has not changed since Oct 16, 2026 02:15 AM ET (same SHA-256 in the last 9 captures), and no nflverse input this model reads has changed since Oct 16, 2026 10:16 AM ET. nflverse posts injury updates about once a day, usually overnight, so the estimate moves when that file does. Source: manifest_live.jsonl.
No change yet: 3% in all 20 updates (Oct 15, 2026 06:15 AM ET to Oct 16, 2026 06:22 PM ET).
Team contribution range: Week 6 game (Oct 18)
Most weeks, Alohi Gilman adds between 46 and 76 defensive snaps. The projected middle is about 63.
How to read it ⓘA wide curve means a boom-or-bust week; a narrow one means a steadier floor.
80% range: low = 10th percentile, projected = the middle outcome (median, dotted line), high = 90th percentile; a solid dot marks the actual result once the game is graded. The curve is drawn through these three points for illustration only; its shape is not a modeled distribution. The range assumes the player plays (fit on played games only). Sources: frozen team-contribution unit models (fit on 2014–2025, beat a trailing 8-game baseline on held-out seasons). Prediction log update Oct 16, 2026 06:22 PM ET.
If he plays
Tackles (solo plus assisted): usually 0.0 to 8.4, projected about 4.7.
Sacks: usually none (the 80% range tops out below 0.5 per game).
Teammates who gain if he sits
No usage-shift scenario this update. Usage-shift scenarios cover receivers, tight ends and running backs only; offensive-line and defensive snaps are not redistributed. See Next man up below for his backup.
Next man up
Snaps: nflverse snap counts (CC-BY-4.0), last 3 team games, retrieved Oct 16, 2026 06:22 PM ET; starter = top 2026 season snap share in his position group (no 2026 depth chart captured); backup experience = career regular-season snaps in nflverse snap counts; tiers fixed from 2017-2021 history (High at least 3.7, Medium at least 0.7 points).
Mansoor Delane (DB): 68% of snaps (average of the last 3 team games) and 153 career snaps, versus Alohi Gilman at 96% over the same 3 games and 3,775 career snaps. That drop-off drives the role-impact score of 1.7 (Medium).
