McMillan brought in four of six targets for 85 yards and lost a fumble in the Panthers' 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday.

McMillan paced the Panthers in receiving yards while checking in second to Jalen Coker in both receptions and targets. McMillan's lost fumble came on Carolina's desperation lateral-heavy final play, when he lost the handle at his own 36-yard line to quell any chance of an extremely longshot bid to score a touchdown with no time remaining. McMillan did manage to get over the 1,000-yard mark for the season with his production, finishing his first NFL regular campaign with a 70-1,014-7 line while appearing in all 17 games. If the Falcons are able to defeat the Saints on Sunday, McMillan will also have his first NFL postseason appearance to look forward to in next weekend's wild-card round.

Conner was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Conner joined the Giants' practice squad in mid-December after being let go by Miami multiple times. He should have the chance to be active due to Theo Johnson (illness) being ruled out, though Conner will likely be buried on the depth chart.

The Giants signed Miller to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Miller was elevated to the active roster in Week 17 but was ultimately a healthy scratch. It's unclear if he'll have a role in Sunday's season finale against the Cowboys.

Williams (hamstring) is inactive for Saturday night's game against the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Williams played just one snap in the 49ers' Week 17 win over the Bears, and his absence for Saturday night's matchup is a huge blow for a 49ers squad that is attempting to acquire the NFC's top seed. Austen Pleasants is set to start at left tackle in Williams' absence.

White (groin) is active for Saturday night's game against the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

White was able to overcome his groin injury in time to play in Saturday night's battle for the NFC's top seed. The rotational defensive end will likely see occasional defensive snaps behind Bryce Huff and Sam Okuayinonu, sharing the edge with Yetur Gross-Matos and Clelin Ferrell.

Robinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday night's game against the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Robinson will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game, with Eric Kendricks seeming to have earned the No. 2 middle linebacker spot on the depth chart. Robinson will likely not be active again this season as long as the 49ers' linebacker corps maintains its current health.

Bourne is in line for more work Saturday versus the Seahawks due to Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) being inactive, Brianna Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

In Pearsall's absences during Weeks 5-10 and 16 this season, Bourne has been the biggest beneficiary among San Francisco's wide receivers, tallying a 26-422-0 line on 34 targets over those seven games. He'll have to vie with fellow WR Jauan Jennings, RB Christian McCaffrey and TE George Kittle (ankle) for looks from QB Brock Purdy, but the opportunity still knocks for Bourne.

Stout (concussion) is active for Saturday night's game against the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Stout was able to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time for Saturday's divisional clash. The third-round rookie will have a task ahead of him, as he will likely face matchups with 2025 receiving yards leader Jaxon Smith-Njigba as well as Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed.

Jones (ankle) is active for Saturday night's game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Jones was a limited participant in Thursday's practice and appears to be healthy enough to suit up for Saturday night's pivotal divisional showdown that will decide the NFC's top seed. With Charles Cross (hamstring) inactive, Jones is set to start the game at left tackle.

Bryant (knee) is inactive for Saturday night's game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Bryant will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee injury he sustained in the Seahawks' Week 16 overtime win over the Rams. Ty Okada will likely once again start at strong safety in Bryant's absence.
