Morgan Moses
Practice trend: nflverse has one end-of-week practice status per player-week, not daily Wed/Thu/Fri reports, so this compares last game week's final status with this week's; we have not tested it on midweek reports. 1,389 past cases in 2022–2025 with this sequence (regular players with at least 20% snap share; 2,957 more in 2014–2021). It is context only: the chance of missing above comes from the frozen model. From our held-out research on 2014–2025 nflverse data.
If he sits, the New England Patriots replace a starter who plays 91% of offense snaps; his backup Caleb Lomu has played 44% over the same games.

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: 4% 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, Morgan Moses adds between 41 and 75 offensive 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
nflverse has no blocking stats, so this counts offensive snaps played, not blocks.
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).
Caleb Lomu (OL): 44% of snaps (average of the last 3 team games) and 99 career snaps, versus Morgan Moses at 91% over the same 3 games and 10,912 career snaps. That drop-off drives the role-impact score of 2.4 (Medium).
