49ers RB Thomas Clayton has torn ACL

No Saquon Barkley (hamstring) at practice today. He has missed all week.

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is practicing again and Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) returned after missing yesterday.

Wicks remains a WR3/FLEX possibility if Smith sits and Wicks is cleared for his usual role. A healthy Smith would become Philadelphia’s preferred WR start, with Wicks falling into more volatile WR4/FLEX territory. If both miss, Lemon and Cooper would gain deeper-league appeal, while Goedert would have a stronger TE1 streaming case.

The Browns got some big names back at practice today: Carson Schwesinger, Mason Graham, Quinshon Judkins and Derek Barnett.

Not practicing: Mike Hall, Teven Jenkins, Kalia Davis.

Judkins would remain an RB2 option if cleared for his normal workload, but managers should keep another starter available until his game status is known. If he sits, Sampson’s potential activation would help determine the remaining backfield roles.

A.J. Dillon has been ruled out against Philadelphia with an ankle injury. Trevor Etienne is questionable after practicing fully Friday and still needs activation from IR. Dave Canales said Carolina intends to activate Etienne and will likely promote Tre Tyus from the practice squad to have three running backs available.

Hubbard remains an RB1 option, with Dillon’s absence further securing his workload. Etienne is a speculative bench addition if activated, but managers should wait for evidence of a usable offensive role before putting him in a FLEX spot.
