IsHePlayingToday.com answers the questions fans type into their phones before a game. Is he playing today? What channel is it on? Who's calling it? When do we know for sure?
What we do
We cover the NFL first, then the NBA and college football. For each game day we track player status from team injury reports and trusted reporting, the TV channel and streaming home for each game, the announcer crews, and the stadium weather for outdoor games. We are not a scores site and we don't do highlights. Other places do that well. We do the hours before the game, when the answers are still hard to find.
How we work
Every status on this site traces back to a team report or a named reporter, and our articles list their sources at the bottom. When a player's status is genuinely unknown — and on Fridays, it often is — we say so plainly and tell you the exact time the answer will come, which is almost always the inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff. We would rather be honest on Friday than wrong on Sunday.
