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.

Coleman (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to play, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

After Coleman sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field as a limited participant Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wideout would be a game-time decision leading up to Sunday's contest. The third-year player has apparently made positive strides in his recovery from the ankle injury following Friday's practice, and barring a setback, he should be cleared to play ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Coleman has recorded seven receptions for 64 yards on seven targets through the Bills' first two games of the season, and he could be in store for more volume if fellow wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) -- whom Brady also termed as a game-time decision -- ends up sitting out Sunday.

Nacua (hip), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Denver, has been hampered by a groin injury that has impacted his explosiveness, and while the Rams haven't taken surgery "entirely off the table," the issue is considered "short term," with a return possible sooner rather than later, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Rams have listed Nacua with a hip injury on official practice reports since Friday, Sept. 18, a span in which he hasn't practiced while head coach Sean McVay termed the issue "soreness in his groin" unrelated to the psoas discomfort that he tended to in training camp. McVay also told Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com on Friday that if Nacua doesn't play this weekend, he likely will be back Week 4 at Philadelphia on Sunday, Oct. 4, barring a setback. Assuming Nacua is inactive this Sunday, Davante Adams will handle No. 1 WR duties for a second contest in a row.

Pittman (foot) is expected to play in Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A foot injury held Pittman out last Sunday at New England, but after putting in limited sessions during Week 3 prep, he headed into the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday. Ultimately, his status will receive clarification about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Collins (hamstring), who is missing a second game in a row Sunday at Indianapolis, has "a decent chance" to return to action in Week 4 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 4, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Collins hasn't logged any on-field reps since injuring his hamstring at practice on Wednesday, Sept. 16, but following Schefter's report Sunday morning, the wide receiver appears as if he'll give it a go at practice this week to see if a return is possible next weekend. In the meantime, Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne will be the primary wide receivers available to QB C.J. Stroud.

Flowers (hamstring) will participate in a pregame workout to determine his status for Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, but the Ravens don't appear as if they expect him to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Both Schefter and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network are calling Flowers a "true pregame decision," but the field conditions in Brazil ultimately appear to be a factor in whether or not the wide receiver will be cleared for game action, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Such a call won't be made by Baltimore until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Flowers ends up missing a second game in a row, Rashod Bateman will serve as the team's No. 1 WR.

Coker (ankle) is in line to play in Sunday's game at Cleveland, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

On Friday, head coach Dave Canales told Mike Kaye of ESPN.com that he expects Coker to be available in Week 3, so Rapoport's report more or less corroborates what was anticipated for the wide receiver. In the end, though, Coker's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Through two contests this season, he's displayed an incredible rapport with QB Bryce Young, hauling in 16 of 18 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns.

Evans (hip) intends to play Sunday versus the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Evans opened Week 3 prep with back-to-back absences due to a hip injury, but his return to drills Friday as a limited participant left him questionable to suit up this weekend. Considering he doesn't require a full week of practice to be his normal self on game days, he should resume his role as the 49ers' top wide receiver Sunday, assuming he's deemed active about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Sturdivant tallied three catches on as many targets for 22 yards during the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.

Sturdivant's nine-yard catch late in the third quarter was the first of his NFL career. He went on to haul in two more passes of three and 10 yards in the fourth quarter and finished Thursday's contest having played 21 of the Packers' 66 snaps on offense (31.8 percent). Most of that playing time came when Green Bay was facing a large deficit, but Sturdivant figures to see at least some involvement in the offense given the uncertainty around the status of Jayden Reed (neck) for the rest of the 2026 season.
