Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
DK Metcalf (hand) downgraded to limited Thursday
DK Metcalf (hand) was downgraded to a limited participant at Seattle’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Metcalf was listed with a hand injury on Wednesday, but he was still able to participate fully at practice. He was downgraded to a limited participant on Thursday, however, and the reason why is unclear right now. Fantasy managers should keep tabs on his status heading into the weekend.

George Kittle (ribs) doesn’t practice again Thursday
George Kittle (ribs) didn’t take part in Thursday’s practice for the 49ers.
Fantasy Impact
Thursday marked the second-straight practice that Kittle has missed because of an injury to his ribs. It seems to be a day-to-day issue for the veteran, but there’s a real chance that he will miss Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. Fantasy managers should pay attention to what his injury designation ends up being following Friday’s practice.

Trey McBride (concussion) practices in full Thursday
Trey McBride (concussion) was a full participant at Arizona’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
McBride was unable to play in Week 4 after suffering a concussion, but he was able to log a full practice session on Thursday and should be good to go for Sunday’s game. Fantasy managers should expect him to play and should start him without hesitation in a matchup against the 49ers.
