Elijah Mitchell

SF Running Back #25

49ers listed RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) as questionable for Week 4 against the Cardinals.

Mitchell injured his knee in Thursday’s practice and did not practice on Friday. His absence on Friday would leave us to believe he’s on the wrong side of playing in Week 4, although we may not know for sure until closer to kickoff. The oft-injured running back rushed 11 times for 42 yards in Week 3 after recording a zero snap outing in Week 2, but would be hard to trust even if active.
Deebo Samuel

SF Wide Receiver #19

Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) is questionable for Week 4 against the Cardinals.

Deebo was not seen at the start of practice on Friday but was ultimately listed as a limited participant. He likely got in a very light session. Kyle Shanahan downplayed the severity of the issue earlier in the week, so Samuel should be able to suit up. Samuel and the 49ers get a great matchup with the Cardinals this week, putting the dynamic receiver in a position to drop another WR1 performance in Week 4.
Brandon Aiyuk

SF Wide Receiver #11

49ers removed WR Brandon Aiyuk from their Week 4 injury report against the Cardinals.

Good for the 49ers, who are certain to have at least one of their starting receivers for the week. There’s a good chance Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) still suits up, but Samuel didn’t practice all week and was handed a questionable tag going into the weekend. Aiyuk will have fringe WR2/WR3 upside against the Cardinals, but would be a near lock as a WR2 if Samuel were to sit.
James Conner

ARI Running Back #6

Cardinals RB James Conner is no longer listed on the team’s injury report ahead of Week 4’s matchup against the 49ers.

Conner was limited in practice throughout the week but is ready to go for Week 4 against the 49ers. Serving as the Cardinals’ bell cow back through the first three weeks of the season, Conner should have another busy week against a stout 49ers defense as the Cardinals look to push their record to 2-2. Conner will be a volume-based RB2 play in a tough matchup.
Marquise Brown

ARI Wide Receiver #2

Cardinals listed Marquise Brown (thumb) as questionable for Week 4 against the 49ers.
Maxx Crosby

LV EDGE #98

Raiders listed EDGE Maxx Crosby (knee) as questionable for Week 4 against the Chargers.

Crosby practiced on two of a possible three days this week after hurting his knee in Week 3 against the Steelers. We’ll see if Crosby is able to go on Sunday, but a limited practice to close out the week is encouraging.
Jimmy Garoppolo

LV Quarterback #10

Raiders listed Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) as questionable for Week 4 against the Chargers.

Simply put, Garoppolo will need to clear concussion protocol to play on Sunday. He’s been a limited participant in the team’s last two practices, but that’s a moot point as long as he remains in protocol. If Garoppolo doesn’t play, veteran Brian Hoyer is expected to start against the Chargers. Fantasy managers in need of Garoppolo’s services should have a backup plan in place.
Jerry Jeudy

DEN Wide Receiver #10

Jerry Jeudy (knee) was removed from the Week 4 injury report and will play against the Bears.

Jeudy was upgraded to a full participant in practice before being removed from the injury report. He will be a full-go for Week 4 against a horrific Chicago secondary. Coming off a seven-target, 81-yard game versus the Dolphins, Jeudy will rank as a WR2 versus the Bears.
Laremy Tunsil

HOU Tackle #78

Laremy Tunsil (knee) will not play in Week 4 against the Steelers.

Tunsil and backup left tackle Josh Jones (hand) have both been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Steelers, creating a potential field day for T.J Watt and a defense that is tied for the league lead in sacks (13). Backup lineman Austin Deculus could be in line to start at left tackle, which sounds bad when you consider he has as many offensive snaps through two seasons as the guy writing this blurb.
Damar Hamlin

BUF Safety #3

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Bills S Damar Hamlin is expected to be active for Week 4 against the Dolphins.

It will be Hamlin’s first game since suffering a cardiac arrest on the field in Week 17 of last year. He made Buffalo’s final roster after training camp but has been a healthy scratch for the first three weeks of the season. With safety Jordan Poyer out for Week 4, Hamlin will be on the game-day roster as a depth option. It’s an incredible turnaround from the most harrowing moment the NFL has seen in decades.
