Pittman brought in 10 of 13 targets for 107 yards in the Colts' 27-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Pittman led the Colts in receptions and receiving yards while tying for the team lead in targets. The sure-handed wideout's yardage total was his second highest of the season and marked his second time eclipsing the 100-yard mark on the campaign. The 26-year-old has no fewer than eight catches in four consecutive contests going into a Week 13 road matchup against the Titans.

Head coach Mike Tomlin noted after Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals that Austin sustained an ankle injury late in the game, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Tomlin didn't provide any other update on the severity of Austin's injury, so his practice participation leading up to Week 13 against the Cardinals should indicate whether he'll miss time. Austin caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's win.

Douglas won't return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to a head injury, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from the game, Douglas caught six of his nine targets for 49 yards. Given that Douglas was quickly downgraded to out after initially being listed as doubtful to return to the game, he presumably suffered a concussion. Douglas previously sat out the Patriots' Week 6 game against the Raiders due to a concussion, so if he's in the protocol for head injuries again, he'll be at high risk of missing the team's Week 13 game against the Chargers.

Shaheed (thigh) is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game at Atlanta, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

With Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve, Chris Olave and Shaheed are the Saints' top two wide receivers, but both have made early departures from Week 12 action. The door at least has been left ajar for Shaheed to return, while Olave suffered a concussion and will be subject to the protocol for head injuries moving forward. If Shaheed remains on the sideline, he'll end Sunday with two catches (on five targets) and one punt return for six yards.

Shenault (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Shenault briefly came back to Sunday's game after sustaining an ankle injury, but he left again and won't return. He caught his only target for eight yards.

Olave sustained a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Falcons and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Olave was on his way to a big day before departing with the concussion, as he racked up seven catches for 114 yards on nine targets. With Michael Thomas (knee) having been placed on injured reserve prior to the contest and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) uncertain to return to the game, the Saints are left with A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden and Keith Kirkwood as their healthy receivers. Olave will now work to clear the five-step concussion protocol ahead of the Saints' Week 13 game against the Lions on Dec. 3.

Harty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Harty is the odd man out Sunday, with Andy Isabella active after having been elevated from the team's practice squad. Also in the Bills' WR mix versus Philadelphia are Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Khalil Shakir and Trent Sherfield.

Watkins (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

The fourth-year pro will be stepping on the field for the first time since Week 5 following a stint on injured reserve. During Watkins' time on the shelf, the Eagles inked multi-time Pro Bowler Julio Jones to operate as the No. 3 receiver, and although the veteran hasn't ben asked to do much behind starters A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, he could prevent Watkins from reclaiming his prior role for at least Sunday's contest.

Skowronek (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Skowronek was a limited participant in practice all week after sustaining a hip pointer injury in Week 11 against the Seahawks. He's contributed mostly on special teams this season and has three catches for 33 yards and a touchdown in 10 games.

Shenault (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Titans, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Shenault exited early in the first half, but he was able to return to the field to start the third quarter. His return should strengthen the Panthers' depth at receiver.
