Splits are regular-season games since 2009, against the player's overall average. “Played while listed” is by definition the milder half of injury tags - the ones the player got through - so it is the discount to expect when he plays, not the cost of the injury. The league line on each card is the pattern for RBs (starters, 2009–25 injury reports, each player vs. his own other games).
