49ers WR Deebo Samuel (ribs, knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He hurt his ribs in last Thursday night's win over the Giants but was labeled "day-to-day" by HC Kyle Shanahan. We don't have any info on the knee issue. We'll see if Samuel gets back on the practice field tomorrow.
Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice -- his first official participation since going down in Week 1. Ekeler told NFL Network's Bridget Condon that he hasn't tried to push that injured ankle to 100% yet but if he can in practice this week then he wants to play vs. the Raiders on Sunday. "It's one of those things where you kind of progress with how fast it allows you to," Ekeler added. "You saw me back on the field today so mine's obviously in a good spot." We'll keep a close eye on his progress over the next few days. The Chargers have an upcoming Week 5 bye, but Ekeler said that won't impact whether he plays this weekend.
Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He has a long way to go to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. QB Brian Hoyer is expected to start if Garoppolo can't. That'd be a significant downgrade for Vegas' pass-catchers.
Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins is not listed on the Week 4 injury report. He's been bothered by an ankle injury the past two weeks but is evidently healthy heading into Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. Hopkins posted a 7-65-0 line on 13 targets in Week 1, the last time he was off the injury report.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's a good sign after he got in just two limited practices last week. Burrow said he avoided a setback with that calf in Monday night's win, so he should be closer to 100% for this weekend's game vs. the Titans.
Bengals TE Irv Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He shouldn't be in your Week 4 fantasy plans.
Eagles RB Boston Scott (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. Scott figures to be Philly's No. 3 RB behind D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell.
Commanders TE Logan Thomas (concussion) was limited in Wednesday's practice. We'll see if he can get cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. Thomas racked up 11 targets in about six quarters of action before suffering that head injury.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. The rookie remains in the concussion protocol but is close to being cleared. Barring a setback, he'll return for this weekend's game vs. the Rams.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee (Achilles) did not practice on Wednesday. It's rare to see Achilles on the injury report, but we haven't seen any concern about Higbee's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Colts. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow.
Browns RB Kareem Hunt (ribs, groin) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kevin Stefanski didn't express any concern about his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens, but we'll keep an eye on his status over the next few days.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he should be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. RB Justice Hill (foot) remained sidelined on Wednesday. His absence on Sunday would again leave Melvin Gordon as Baltimore's No. 2 RB.
Ravens WR Odell Beckham (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. That puts him in danger of missing a second straight game. We'll see if Beckham can get back on the field tomorrow.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He said his hamstring tightened up late in last week's loss to the Colts. We'll track his status over the next few days, but Bateman shouldn't be in your Week 4 fantasy plans.
Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That should put him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. Young still has plenty of long-term upside but has struggled so far, completing 59% of his passes at 4.2 yards per attempt. He looks like at least a minor downgrade from QB Andy Dalton.
Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. So he's made some progress through the protocol and has a chance to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. We'll track Mingo's status over the next few days.
Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) was a limited participant in practice again on Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Packers. HC Dan Campbell expressed optimism about Montgomery's status for that one on Tuesday, so we're tentatively expecting him to play. We'll get Detroit's inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow.
Lions S Kerby Joseph (hip) and CB Emmanuel Moseley (knee, hamstring) are questionable for Thursday night's game against the Packers. Joseph missed last Sunday's game after sitting out the whole practice week. He returned to limited workouts this week but remains a question mark and is probably not worth the risk in IDP lineups. Moseley has yet to play in a game this year and didn't get any live practices in this short week. He shouldn't be in IDP lineups yet but sported some upside when he started with the 49ers.
Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Lions. HC Matt Lafleur said Tuesday that he's "cautiously optimistic" that Jones will be available, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. We'll check Jones' status ahead of kickoff. Check our Week 4 RB rankings for any updates before setting your lineup.
The Packers list WR Christian Watson (hamstring) as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Lions. He remained limited in this abbreviated practice week. But Watson said Tuesday that he expects to be ready to play, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. We'll check his status ahead of kickoff. There will obviously be risk to playing Watson in your fantasy lineup in his first game back. But he brings upside every time he's on the field as well. Check our Week 4 WR rankings before setting your lineup.
