The Lions signed Mohamed Sanu to the practice squad.

With Kenny Golladay (hip) week-to-week, Sanu will give the Lions more receiving depth. Sanu, who will rejoin former Bengals teammate Marvin Jones, will look to grasp the playbook and eventually get called up to the active roster.

Dexter Williams (knee) is out for the rest of tonight’s game.

It’s unclear when Williams was hurt during his limited action in the first half, but it leaves a very thin Packers running back group even thinner for the rest of the night. The good news is Aaron Jones has been getting plenty of playing time despite his calf injury.

Aaron Jones (calf) is officially active for Thursday night.

Jones is back after missing the past two games with his minor calf issue, but the star running back is expected to be somewhat limited in his return to the lineup. However, it’s difficult to leave Jones out of fantasy lineups as a big-play threat that can do serious damage on limited touches.

The 49ers promoted Kevin White to the active roster.

With the Niners receiving corps totally decimated, the former first-round pick of the Bears is getting another opportunity on gameday. It’s difficult to trust White in fantasy lineups given his uncertain role and target share, though.

Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) officially remains limited in practice.

Thomas is probably about 50/50 to play this Sunday night against the Buccaneers, but we’ll see how he’s listed on the final Week 9 injury report when it’s released tomorrow. It’d be good to see him get a full practice in to end the week.

The Packers have elevated Dexter Williams from the practice squad.

Williams was thought to potentially be in line for the majority of early-down carries, but Aaron Jones (calf) is now expected to play, and reports suggest Tyler Ervin will see a good amount of work. Look for the Notre Dame product to mix in because Jones has had limited practice time, but Williams won’t be a recommended fantasy option tonight.

The 49ers are activating Jordan Reed (knee) from injured reserve.

Reed was on injured reserve since late September, but his return comes at a good time with George Kittle out several weeks. Reed will instantly be able to play tonight against the Packers, and he’s an intriguing fantasy option if you are looking for a Kittle replacement or a TE1.
