Out = 0% chance of playing
Doubtful = 25% chance of playing
Questionable = 50% chance of playing
Probable = 75% chance of playing

Added to that is the Marvin Lewis tradition of declaring guys out if they haven't practiced all week...


Since Jones is listed as doubtful despite not practicing all week, I think they're willing to let him warm up Sunday morning and make a final decision then.

Yes and no about the probabilities.  In reality, doubtful doesn't play and questionable does, while probable is guaranteed.  It's kind of an unwritten rule kind of thing.  In fact, the league will actually ask questions about a guy not playing if he was listed as probable.

EDIT: BTW, as for Marvin declaring guys out without a week of practice, that was always the case prior to this season when we practiced Friday and then turned in the report. Now we turn it in on Friday and practice on Saturday, so he doesn't do it any more. For example, look at Eifert last week.
