FAQ

Does the NFL injury API include a report date?

Yes. report_date, season, season_type, week, and source_url are on each injury row for the 2026 season.

What does an empty injury list mean?

The report has not been published for that team yet. An empty list is not the same as a healthy roster.

How many calls does a Sunday of injury polling use?

One call per team. Thirty-two teams, a few times on Sunday, is still inside Starter's 100,000 credits. Tryout's 1,000 calls are for a first look.
