Raiders quarterback Derek Carr showed no ill effects from his sprained ankle injury as he took the first-team snaps in Tony Sparano’s first practice as interim coach on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

Carr would be on track to start Week 6 against the Chargers, who are coming off a shutout of the Jets in Week 5.

49ers TE Vernon Davis says there's a 'small chance' he plays in Week 5

On his way out of the locker room, 49ers tight end Vernon Davis (back) told reporters that there was a "small chance" that he would play Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like the team will be without Davis in Week 5. Vance McDonald and Derek Carrier would be in line for snaps with Davis sidelined. Expect Colin Kaepernick to lean more on his receivers without his stud TE in the lineup.

49ers TE Vernon Davis (back, questionable) missed practice again Thursday and is questionable for Week 5. Davis seems unlikely to play this week. Vance McDonald is battling a knee injury, but if he’s active he should see snaps ahead of Derek Carrier if Davis is out. The 49ers once again play in the late round of games on Sunday, so owners may be sweating his status again in Week 5.

Raiders QB Derek Carr sprains ankle, MCL

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was sidelined with a high ankle sprain and MCL sprain in the third quarter.

Carr's knee was twisted at the end of a scramble. Despite a heavy limp, he stayed in for one more play before it became obvious that he couldn't put any weight on the leg.

He was promptly sent to the locker room for X-rays and did not return.

The rookie authored an impressive opening touchdown drive vs. the Miami Dolphins, but failed to move the offense over the next two quarters.

Fantasy Impact:

Matt McGloin took over for Carr and did throw for a TD pass but it was an overall ugly performance for the Raiders offense. Matt Schaub didn't make the trip to England and the Raiders have a bye in Week 5. Carr's injury is said to keep him out a couple of weeks, so right now it's anyone's guess as to who starts in Week 6.

Vernon Davis suffers back spasms

After the game, 49ers TE Vernon Davis said he experienced back spasms after getting hit awkwardly and bending forward, and that he felt confident that all would be well enough for him to be on the field against the Chiefs next weekend.

“I’ll be good,” Davis said, via the San Francisco Chronice. “I’ll be fine.”

Fantasy Impact:

Davis was also battling an ankle injury leading up to this game. With Vance McDonald also out, Derek Carrier took over at TE when Davis couldn't return. Davis says he will be fine for Week 5 but it's always tough to trust a player's opinion when it comes to injuries.

Tight end Vance McDonald came off the practice field after all of his teammates to go through a workout with position coach Eric Mangini. "You can see how much I'm sweating," McDonald told reporters before adding that he "absolutely" would play on Sunday after missing Week 3 with a bum knee.

Fantasy Impact:

Vernon Davis is questionable, but if he can't play, it sounds like McDonald would be the player to get the biggest bump in snaps. McDonald was playing ahead of third-string TE Derek Carrier prior to the knee injury.

49ers 'remain optimistic' about TE Vernon Davis, game-time decision

CSN Bay Area

Sep 26, 2014 · 11:50 PM EDT

49ers HC Jim Harbaugh was asked about the status of TE Vernon Davis:

You were optimistic earlier in the week about TE Vernon Davis. Is that still the case? How’s that changed? How’s he looked in practice?

“Yeah, I think we’re still going to have to be closer to game time to know for sure. But, yeah, remain optimistic.”

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers play in the late round of games so owners who intend to wait on Davis should have a Plan B in place. Vance McDonald (knee) is also questionable, but he said he was "absolutely" going to play on Sunday. He would likely be the player to own if Davis can't go. He was playing ahead of Derek Carrier before the knee injury.

49ers TE Vernon Davis (ankle, knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. Davis was expected to play earlier in the week, but now the team is saying the he’s a game-time decision. The 49ers play late on Sunday, so owners should have a Plan B in place. Travis Kelce and Levine Toilolo play at the same time (or later) than Davis. Derek Carrier is Davis’s direct backup at this point, though Vance McDonald is also questionable and could start if Davis is out.
