Fant (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions.

After being listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Fant practiced fully Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to return to the lineup after missing Monday night's loss to the Broncos due to a concussion. In three games to date, Fant has compiled a 12-80-1 line on 14 targets, a pace that keeps him on the Week 5 fantasy radar, especially with four teams on bye.

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.

Hill (knee), who remains on the reserve/PUP list, is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Hill is in the later stages of his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered Week 13 of last season, having logged limited practices since he was designated to return from the PUP list earlier this week. The Saints are giving him a chance to play Sunday, but first they'll need to activate him by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday and then not include him on their inactive list in order for him to make his season debut. Fellow tight end Foster Moreau (knee, reserve/PUP list) is in the same boat, while Juwan Johnson (ankle) -- who is on the active roster -- also is listed as questionable.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Johnson followed up Wednesday's absence due to an ankle injury with a limited session Thursday. He wasn't able to progress enough to avoid a designation in advance of the weekend, but his status nonetheless will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, fellow TEs Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) also are listed as questionable, but the Saints will need to activate them from the reserve/PUP list by Saturday afternoon in order for them to have a chance to play Week 5.

Yurosek (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

The 23-year-old upgraded to a limited practice session Friday after logging consecutive DNPs to begin the Vikings' week of practice, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday. However, if Yurosek is forced to miss the Week 5 contest, Minnesota's tight-end room will likely consist of just T.J. Hockenson, Josh Oliver and Nick Vannett.

Sanders (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

With Sanders set to miss his second straight game, Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans will lead the team's TE corps this weekend, with Mitchell Evans in reserve. In Carolina's Week 4 loss to the Patriots, Tremble caught five of his eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown, while Evans caught three of his four targets for 23 yards and a touchdown. Sanders' next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Oct. 12 against the Cowboys.

Tonges secured seven of 11 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night.

The third-year tight end was due for an elevated role with Jauan Jennings (ribs/ankle) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) joining Brandon Aiyuk (knee, reserve/PUP list) and George Kittle (hamstring, IR) on the sideline, and that came to fruition perhaps to an even greater degree than expected. Tonges finished tied with Kendrick Bourne for the team lead in targets, and he opened the scoring on the night with a six-yard touchdown grab to close out the opening possession of the contest. Kittle reportedly has a chance to return when first eligible in a Week 6 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12, but Tonges has proven capable of serving as an effective complementary pass-catching option with his work during his teammate's absence.

Kittle has had no setbacks while on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury and has a chance to return Week 6 at Tampa Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Prior to hurting his hamstring in the first half of a Week 1 win at Seattle, Kittle was involved early and often, gathering in all four of his targets for 25 yards and one touchdown. Given a prognosis of 3-to-5 weeks to recover, he was placed on IR on Sept. 9, and after Thursday's game at the Rams, he'll have fulfilled the four-game minimum on the reserve list. With WRs Jauan Jennings (ankle) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) sidelined Week 5 and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still on the reserve/PUP list, Kittle may immediately take the mantle as the 49ers' top pass catcher once he's cleared for game action again.

Mayer (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Mayer has been slowly working his way back from a concussion he suffered Week 3 versus the Commanders. He's now logged back-to-back limited efforts to begin the week, potentially opening the door for him to clear concussion protocol and play Sunday in Indianapolis.

Calcaterra (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

The illness appears to be new, as Calcaterra was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. How he recovers over the coming days will determine whether he will play in Sunday's home game against the Broncos. Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu would be in line to serve as the Eagles' top two tight ends if Calcaterra and Dallas Goedert (knee) were unable to play.
