Kenjon Barner has been suspended four games for violating the NFL’s policy on substances of abuse.

Barner has contributed on special teams for Tampa Bay, and he also saw the field on offense in Week 4 due to injuries at running back. The veteran will now be out until November.

The 49ers are releasing Mohamed Sanu, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

San Francisco is getting healthier at receiver with Deebo Samuel (foot) returning to the lineup last week, so the veteran is being released. We’ll see if Sanu lands elsewhere soon, but he’s not currently on the fantasy radar.

Diontae Johnson has cleared concussion protocol.

Johnson is good to go for this Sunday against the Eagles as the Steelers come off their early bye week. You can insert the second-year receiver as a FLEX option into Week 5 lineups.

Josiah Deguara leaves with apparent leg injury.

The rookie was unfortunately injured late in the fourth quarter in punt protection, and he had to be helped off the field. Hopefully Deguara ends up being OK, but an update should be provided tomorrow.

Julio Jones (hamstring) is out for the rest of tonight.

Jones was not in at the end of the first half, and he did not come out of the locker room to start the second half, so it appears he may have re-aggravated the hamstring injury he’s been dealing with since the summer. Before leaving tonight’s game, Jones had four receptions for 32 yards, and now we just have to hope this isn’t an extended absence for the star receiver.

Calvin Ridley (ankle) is officially active for Week 4.

Ridley probably isn’t quite at full strength, but it would have been a major surprise if he was inactive tonight versus the Packers. You can safely insert the star receiver, who was the No. 1 fantasy scorer at his position through three weeks, into your lineup.

Julio Jones (hamstring) is officially active for Monday night.

This was the expectation, but now it’s official. Jones missed just one game with his hamstring issue, but he remains at less than 100% heading into tonight’s matchup with the Packers. Remember, the Falcons won’t kickoff until 9:00 PM ET after the schedule change.
