Ja’Marr Chase and Saquon Barkley are among the players whose Week 5 availability remains unclear, according to Yahoo Sports’ injury update for fantasy football. Both left their Week 4 games early and are listed as “TBD”.

Chase, a Cincinnati wide receiver, is listed with a concussion. The report does not confirm whether he will play in Week 5.

Barkley, Philadelphia’s running back, is listed with a hamstring injury. Yahoo Sports says the injury is not considered serious but could keep him out of the Week 5 game against the Jaguars in London.

If Barkley is unavailable, the report says Tank Bigsby could handle most early-down work, with Will Shipley mixing in on passing downs. Bigsby is identified as a potential waiver-wire addition.

The update also names Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels and Justin Jefferson among players with injury concerns or uncertain availability. Their listed statuses include “TBD”, while Jefferson is described as hopeful to return in Week 5.
