Turner (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

Turner logged a DNP at Thursday's practice due to an illness, but he upgraded to a full-go Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to face the Browns on Sunday. With the 2024 first-round pick back at full health, he's expected to start opposite Jonathan Greenard in Week 5.

Moore had one carry for one yard without being targeted in Thursday's 26-23 win over the Rams.

Moore made his usual impact as a returner with 55 yards gained on three punt returns (and a shaky squib recovery on his only kick return). The 24-year-old split his 16 total snaps Thursday evenly between offense and special teams. Moore finished with zero targets after recording one in each of his previous two outings, but he did register his first carry as a member of the 49ers in the overtime win. As depleted as San Francisco's receiver room is at the moment, it doesn't appear that Moore's role will expand much past the return game Week 6 against Tampa Bay.

Corum rushed once for 13 yards and failed to secure either of his two targets during Thursday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

Corum's six snaps on offense represents the first time this season he's failed to crack the double-digit marker. Kyren Williams returned to fully dominating the timeshare, playing 62 snaps and garnering a total of 22 touches. Williams did have a costly fumble late in the fourth quarter and was stuffed on fourth-and-1 to end the game in overtime, but the momentum clearly seems to be shifting towards him reclaiming his monstrous usage of last season. A soft Baltimore defense leading the league in points allowed is up next in Week 6, but Corum's steep decline in usage this week will make him difficult to trust in fantasy leagues.

Bowers (knee) wasn't in uniform for Friday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

After being listed as limited Wednesday, Bowers didn't practice Thursday, and with another DNP in store, the tight end's status for Sunday's game against the Colts is uncertain. In any case, Friday's final injury report will clarify whether Bowers has a chance to play this weekend. Meanwhile, fellow TE Michael Mayer (concussion) has logged two straight limited practices.

Newsome (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.

Newsome likely sustained this hamstring injury in practice, as he popped up on the Browns' injury report Thursday, logging a limited session. If he's unable to go in Week 5, Jarrick Bernard-Converse will likely start opposite Denzel Ward to form the Browns' top outside corner duo.

Garrett (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Although the All-Pro edge rusher logged a DNP at Wednesday's practice, he's now in line to play in Sunday's contest. Garrett has tallied 18 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, through the Browns' first four games this season. Now healthy, he's expected to wreak havoc on Carson Wentz and the Vikings' offensive line in Week 5.

Guerendo ran back one kickoff for 18 yards while receiving no carries or targets in Thursday's 26-23 overtime win over the Rams.

Christian McCaffrey continued to operate as San Francisco's bell cow (88 percent) while Brian Robinson (14 percent) remained the clear No. 2, which leaves Guerendo parked in the garage when the team is on offense. The 2024 fourth-round selection is stuck on special teams for the foreseeable future, needing an injury ahead of him on the depth chart to open up playing time. Guerendo generates no fantasy value in his current role when the 49ers visit the Buccaneers in Week 6.

Tracy (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Tracy practiced Friday for the first time since dislocating his right shoulder Week 3 against the Chiefs, with head coach Brian Daboll noting that the running back is "a lot better," per Salomone. Considering his listing ahead of Week 5 action, however, Tracy isn't a serious candidate to play. Assuming Tracy is confirmed to be inactive about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, the Giants again will turn to rookie Cam Skattebo to lead the backfield, with Devin Singletary available for any backfield reps that linger.

Dean (knee) will not be activated from the reserve/PUP list for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Georgia product was a limited participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll remain out for the Week 5 contest. Dean had an impressive 2024 campaign, tallying 128 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and four passes defended over 15 regular-season games. While he remains sidelined, expect Jihaad Campbell and Zack Baun to start in the Eagles' inside-linebacker corps.

Whittington secured two of three targets for 33 yards during Thursday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

The second-year wideout chained together catches of 22 and 11 yards in the second quarter, which led to a Kyren Williams 14-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford. Whittington would see one final target head his way at the start of the second half before taking a back seat to Tutu Atwell, who made two huge catches of 34 and 38 yards in the third quarter and overtime, respectively. Atwell also easily outpaced Whittington in snap count (45-27). Atwell's game-breaking speed has been on display the last two weeks, and that additional element may have been a factor in his uptick in touches. Whittington will remain difficult to trust from a fantasy perspective, although a porous Baltimore defense that has given up the most points in the league is up next Week 6.
