NFL changes injury reports for 2016 season

NFL drops “probable” from injury report, redefines “questionable” and “doubtful”

“The ‘Probable’ category was eliminated from the Game Status Report because approximately 95 percent of the players who were listed as ‘Probable’ in prior years did in fact play in the game,” the league explained.

The NFL also has changed the meaning of “questionable” and “doubtful”; previously, the “questionable” category reflected a 50-50 likelihood of playing, and “doubtful” meant a 75-percent chance the player wouldn’t play. Now, “questionable” simply means that “it is uncertain as to whether the player will play in the game,” and “doubtful” means that “it is unlikely the player will participate.”

How long will it take Belichick to list 53 players as "questionable" on a report this year?.....

I think it's more Probable than not that the NFL changed the rule because of the Patriots.
