Hutchinson is in line to serve as the Texans' No. 1 receiver for the second consecutive game in Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Colts due to Nico Collins (hamstring) being ruled inactive for the contest.

Hutchinson was in the same slotting for the Week 2 loss to the Bengals, a game in which he saw nine targets on 51 routes run but only converted three into catches. Hutchinson ostensibly has a more palatable matchup Sunday, as the Colts have surrendered an elevated 72.7 percent catch rate and 17.9 yards per reception to wide receivers, along with three touchdowns, over the first two games.

Coleman (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

It was reported earlier Sunday that Coleman was expected to suit up for Week 3, and he will indeed do so. Coleman was considered a game-time call for Sunday's contest, so it's not clear if he will be at full speed. However, he -- as well as DJ Moore and the rest of Buffalo's regular pass catchers -- will all be in uniform for Week 3.

Foster (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

Foster will be inactive for the second consecutive week. His next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 4 versus the Chargers.

Legette (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Legette popped up on the Panthers' practice report Thursday as a non-participant due to a knee injury, which he followed up with a limited session Friday before being tagged as questionable to play Sunday. Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reported that Legette was expected to be a game-time decision, and Carolina has determined that a week off is prudent for the wide receiver. In Legette's absence, Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie and David Moore will be the tertiary options at the position behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker (ankle).

Pittman (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

The foot injury resulted in Pittman being a limited practice participant throughout the week and taking a questionable tag into Sunday, but the wideout appears to have avoided any setbacks and shouldn't face any major restrictions with his snap count in his return from a one-game absence. With Pittman back in the fold, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard are both likely to see their playing time take hits.

Moore (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

It was reported shortly before kickoff that Moore was expected to suit up Sunday, and he will indeed do so. It's unclear how close Moore is to 100 percent after sandwiching a couple limited practices around a Thursday 'DNP' on the injury report, so it remains to be seen if he will fill his usual role in Week 3.

Slayton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Slayton signed with the Colts on Monday, two weeks after being released by the Giants. The move was to bolster Indianapolis' depth at wide receiver due to the absence of Alec Pierce (heel, IR). However, Slayton is not quite ready to make his Colts' debut, and his next opportunity to do so is Week 4 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 4. The Colts will roll with six active wide receivers Sunday in Josh Downs, Keenan Allen, Laquon Treadwell, Deion Burks, Anthony Gould and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Coker (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at Cleveland, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

In the midst of his 8-138-2 performance on nine targets in Week 1 against the Bears, Coker has been dealing with an ankle injury that impacted his practice reps during both Week 2 and Week 3 prep. He was able to play last Sunday in Atlanta, handling a 76 percent snap share and reeling in eight of nine targets for 66 yards. Head coach Dave Canales told Mike Kaye of ESPN.com on Friday that he expects Coker to play this weekend, and the wide receiver's active status confirms as much. Coker thus will join fellow WR Tetairoa McMillan as the top pass catchers available to QB Bryce Young.

Mitchell (finger) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Mitchell was listed as questionable for Week 3 after sustaining a finger injury last week, and it turns out he is not ready to take the field Sunday. Mitchell -- who garnered 12 targets last week -- joins fellow pass catchers Omar Cooper (ankle) and Mason Taylor (thumb) on the sidelines, so Kenyon Sadiq and Isaiah Williams figure to see some extra opportunities behind top option Garrett Wilson.

Moore (shoulder) is in line to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

When Moore was listed as questionable for Week 3 action Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wide receiver would be a game-time decision. Moore had sandwiched limited sessions around an absence Thursday prior to those comments due to an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 2 against the Lions, but Schefter's report Sunday morning indicates that he'll avoid the Bills' inactive list about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
