Charbonnet (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, John Boyle of seahawks.com reports.

With Charbonnet still on the reserve/PUP list after being designated to return to practice Thursday, he remains ineligible for Week 4. Jadarian Price (chest) is also out for Seattle, leaving Emanuel Wilson and George Holani as the team's main RBs for a home game against the Chargers on Sunday.

Watson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Watson dislocated his shoulder during the Rams' Week 3 loss to the Broncos, which prevented him from practicing this past week. The 2022 seventh-rounder will aim to be back on the field for Week 5 against the Bills, though he'd have to log at least one limited practice to have a realistic chance of playing. Emmanuel Forbes figures to start opposite Trent McDuffie at outside cornerback in Watson's absence.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that the 49ers could open Kirk's (calf) practice window to return from injured reserve in two weeks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Shanahan reiterated that Kirk is unlikely to be back at practice next week but is aiming to start participating in sessions following the 49ers' Week 5 tilt against the Seahawks. Kirk opened the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury he sustained in training camp in late July. The 49ers' WR room has been decimated by injuries, with Kirk, Demarcus Robinson (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and rookie second-rounder De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) all on IR, and veteran Mike Evans injured his ribs during a Week 3 win over the Cardinals. Given the timeline Shanahan provided, it seems Kirk could be available as soon as Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 19.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Evans (ribs) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Officially, Evans is listed as questionable for Week 4 after failing to practice Wednesday and Thursday, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. Evans is nursing a strained rib, and with a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff incoming Sunday, there will be fewer options to pivot to for fantasy purposes if he ends up inactive. Currently, Deebo Samuel, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins are the healthy wide receivers on the 49ers' active roster.

With Jadarian Price (chest) out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Wilson is expected to take on an expanded role out of the backfield, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Wilson actually leads the Seahawks in carries (32) this season, but he's been splitting work with Price (28 carries) and George Holani (15) in what has been a three-man weave out of the backfield. Wilson is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry but could flirt with 20 rushing attempts Sunday, putting him very much in the fantasy RB2/3 mix.

Coleman (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Coleman was DNP on Wednesday but got in a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday and is ready to go for Sunday's divisional matchup. Coleman has made the most of his limited opportunities in a complementary role early on this season, securing eight of nine targets for 101 yards.

Mitchell (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

After being limited Wednesday and Thursday and wearing a walking boot earlier in the week, Mitchell's good to go against Seattle. At less than 100 percent and facing a stout defense, Mitchell is tough to get behind for fantasy lineups, even after he closed the snaps and touches gap on Omarion Hampton in last Sunday's loss to the Bills. Neither is an overly exciting Week 4 fantasy bet.

McConkey (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, Kris Rhim of ESPN reports.

McConkey missed practice Thursday but returned for Friday's light session, giving him a chance to suit up versus Seattle. With the Chargers still looking for their first win, having McConkey available would give them significantly better odds of beating the Seahawks. Playing through injuries already to begin the season, McConkey has 12 catches for 183 yards and one touchdown on a disappointing 15 targets. He's a fantasy WR2/3 at less than 100 percent in a struggling offense.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Price opened the week as limited Wednesday due to his existing chest injury and then didn't practice at all Thursday. Macdonald also told Crabtree that Price aggravated the chest issue during Wednesday's session, and now that he'll miss the first game of his career, Emanuel Wilson figures to pace the Seahawks backfield in Week 4, with George Holani (ribs) on hand for any RB reps that linger.

Fant (abdomen) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Fant maintained his activity level for a second session in a row, giving him just one more chance to get back to full this week. Saturday's injury report will reveal if he's in danger of missing Monday's game against the Falcons due to his abdominal issue.
