Brandon Jones looking better

Sep 18, 2009

One interesting note for the 49ers is that Brandon Jones was a full participant in practice again. He was expected to miss all of September, but it looks like he'll be back much sooner than that. Jimmy Raye was asked after practice about Jones's availability for Sunday:

"He started back to practice. He looked like a guy who has missed six weeks of practice to me. He’s got to get back up to speed and get in some shape physically. Be in position to be able to interval run routes at full speed, and that will take whatever conditioning level he’s at now, that will take a little bit of time. And, when he’s ready and we think he can go full speed, then we’ll involve him in what we’re doing."

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
