Fantasy Impact: Kittle hurt his ribs during Sunday's win over the Patriots and wasn't able to practice on Wednesday because of it. It's unknown if he will be back at practice anytime soon, and the team is likely taking his recovery day-to-day for right now. This is a situation worth keeping close tabs on throughout the week for fantasy managers.

Fantasy Impact: As expected, the 49ers are being careful with the veteran's workload and gave him some time to rest during Wednesday's practice. He should be good to go for Week 5's game, which is great news for the 49ers in a favorable matchup against Arizona's weak defense.

Fantasy Impact: Warner suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Patriots. It left him sidelined from practice on Wednesday, but he reportedly still plans on playing in Week 5. He is one of the best defensive players in football, so his presence will be crucial in a divisional matchup against the Cardinals.

Matt Prater (knee) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Zach Gershman)

Fantasy Impact: The veteran suffered some kind of a knee injury that left him sidelined from practice on Wednesday. The team seems to think this injury may hold some weight, as they recently signed Chad Ryland to their practice squad. It remains to be seen who will be the starting kicker for Arizona in Week 5.

Trey McBride (concussion) was officially a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Zach Gershman)

Fantasy Impact: McBride was able to return to practice for the Cardinals on Wednesday after missing Sunday's game due to a concussion. He was a limited participant in their first practice of the week, and it appears that he's trending the right way for Sunday's game. If he's available to play, fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him in a matchup against the 49ers.

Tyreik McAllister (shoulder) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Paul Gutierrez on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: McAllister has not been much of a factor for the Raiders so far this year, but he may have an opportunity for a bigger role with Davante Adams (hamstring) expected to miss Week 5 and possibly get traded in the coming days or weeks. However, the 26-year old is dealing with a shoulder injury right now, so he may not be the guy to step up and see more work for the Raiders this week.

Zamir White (groin) was limited at Las Vegas' practice on Thursday. (Source: Paul Gutierrez on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: White was featured on the injury report because of a groin injury. He was a limited participant, and the general feeling seems to be that this isn't a serious issue. Alexander Mattison has reportedly earned more reps for himself on this offense, so fantasy managers should expect White to see a bit of a decrease in his workload in the coming weeks, especially if he continues to disappoint on the stat sheet.

Maxx Crosby (ankle) missed Las Vegas' practice on Wednesday. (Source: Paul Gutierrez on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Crosby wasn't able to take part in Las Vegas' first practice of the week on Wednesday. He's still working on recovering from an ankle injury that left him sidelined in Week 4, and it remains to be seen how much more time he will need to get healthy. He is the key piece on Las Vegas' defense, so not having him would be a tough loss in a divisional matchup against the Broncos this weekend.

Jaire Alexander (groin) did not participate at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Alexander missed Week 4's game due to a groin injury, and he wasn't able to make his return to practice on Wednesday. The team hasn't established a timetable for his recovery, and it seems like a very real possibility that he will miss Week 5's game as well. That would be tough news for Green Bay's defense, as they clearly missed him in last week's loss to the Vikings.

Demarcus Robinson (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday. (Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: A hip injury left Robinson limited at Wednesday's practice. This is a recent injury for the veteran wideout, and the exact severity of it has yet to be determined. This is a situation worth monitoring for fantasy managers, as the Rams are already down two of their top receivers in Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee).

Kenneth Walker III (oblique) was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Bob Condotta on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Walker looked great in his return from an oblique injury in Week 4, and now it's great to see that the injury isn't still lingering with him. He logged a full practice on Wednesday, and fantasy managers should have confidence that he's fully healthy for the foreseeable future.

Pharaoh Brown (foot/knee) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Bob Condotta on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Brown was on Wednesday's injury report because of a pair of injuries. The foot injury has lingered with him all season so far, but the knee injury is a new one. He is presumably day-to-day for the time being, and it remains to be seen what his availability for Week 5 will look like.

Tyler Lockett (thigh) logged a limited practice session on Wednesday. (Source: Bob Condotta on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The veteran wideout was not able to practice in full on Wednesday. He's still dealing with a lingering thigh issue, but him being limited is likely just a result of the team being cautious more than anything. He should be good to go for Week 5 but isn't a trustworthy fantasy option for the time being.

Noah Fant (toe) was limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Bob Condotta on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Fant was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury. This should come as no surprise, as he seems to be on the injury report every week due to the same issue. His status for Week 5 doesn't seem to be in jeopardy at this point.

Davante Adams is not expected to play on Sunday against the Broncos. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Adams is continuing to deal with the hamstring injury that sidelined him last week. He also continues to land in trade rumors after requesting a trade earlier in the week.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall will not have his practice window opened this week. (Source: Around the NFL on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Pearsall remains week-to-week. He could have his practice window open any week.

Wan'Dale Robinson (heel) was a limited participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Dan Salomone on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson is a new addition to the injury report, being listed with a heel injury that left him limited at practice on Thursday. It doesn't seem to be a serious issue, however, and it looks like he's trending towards playing in Week 5. He'll be in line for a huge workload if Malik Nabers (concussion) is unable to play against the Seahawks.

Brian Burns (groin) was limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Dan Salomone on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: A groin injury left Burns limited at practice on Wednesday. It's not thought to be a serious issue, and this seems like more of a precautionary move from the team than anything else. Barring anything unforeseen, he should be able to play in Week 5, which is great news for New York's defense.

K.J. Osborn (shoulder) did not practice with the Patriots on Wednesday. (Source: David Furones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Osborn is dealing with a shoulder injury of some kind and was limited at practice on Wednesday. It's unclear just how serious it is, but it seems to be a real threat to his Week 5 availability. There are almost no fantasy-relevant players on New England's offense, however, so fantasy managers should put much weight into the veteran's availability for Sunday's game.

Kendrick Bourne (knee) logged a limited practice session on Wednesday. (Source: David Furones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The team recently opened up Bourne's 21-day practice window, and he was able to return and log a limited practice session on Wednesday. It seems unlikely that they will rush him back and have him active in Week 5, but fantasy managers should expect him to be back out on the field sometime within the next few weeks.
