How this is built
From the NFL's weekly injury reports and weekly roster statuses as published by nflverse, stored every morning. Consecutive weeks with the same injury count as one listing. A reserve stint names the injury from the report the week before it or, when he went straight from a game to the list, from the report as he practised his way back. Records before 2020 show only “reserve list”, without saying which one. Not covered: college and preseason injuries, and anything that never put him on a report or a reserve list.
