Coleman is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Coleman was a surprise inactive for the Bills' Week 11 win over the Buccaneers after missing a team meeting during the week, and that absence was extended into Week 12, when he remained a healthy inactive for the team's loss to the Texans. The second-year wideout is trending toward making a return Sunday, as the Bills will be without Curtis Samuel (elbow) and potentially Joshua Palmer (ankle) as well. Coleman has been held to three catches or less in seven of nine appearances thus far, and even with Elijah Moore being waived Wednesday, it's unclear what the former's snap count on offense will look like moving forward, especially with veterans Brandin Cooks and Gabe Davis now being part of the receiver room.

McMillan (neck) received clearance from a spine specialist to resume on-field work and is expected to return to practice in Week 14, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McMillan has resided on injured reserve all season after he sustained three neck fractures as well as ligament damage during an Aug. 16 preseason game against the Steelers, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The ligament damage in particular took the longest time to heal and required McMillan to wear a neck brace for an extended period, but the second-year wideout has finally turned a corner in his recovery and could provide some aid to the Tampa Bay passing attack down the stretch. McMillan excelled in a complementary role as a rookie, appearing in 13 games while finishing with 37 catches for 461 yards and eight touchdowns on 58 targets.

Olave (back), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Miami, is expected to play, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave sat out one practice and was limited in two others this week while managing the back issue, but after traveling with the Saints to Miami, he seems to be in line to suit up. The wideout has continued to be productive this season despite inconsistent play from New Orleans' quarterbacks, as he's put together a 69-734-4 receiving line through 11 games.

Ayomanor (hamstring), who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Jacksonville, is likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ayomanor missed his first game of the season last Sunday against Seattle, but he appears set to return to action after logging a trio of limited practices this week. He should reclaim his spot as Tennessee's top wideout, but that hasn't led to big production of late. Ayomanor has topped 50 receiving yards just once over his past eight games.

Harrison (appendix), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Harrison has missed Arizona's past two games after undergoing an emergency appendectomy. He was able to return to practice this week and logged a trio of limited sessions, which appears to have been enough for him to return to game action Sunday. Harrison's expected return could put a dent in the production of fellow wideout Michael Wilson, after Wilson went off for a combined 25-303-0 receiving line on 33 targets in the two contests during Harrison's absence.

Tinsley had two catches for 22 yards in Thursday night's win over the Ravens, despite getting targeted nine times.

Tinsley played 53 offensive snaps (66 percent) due to Tee Higgins sitting out with a concussion. Many of his targets were contested plays, suggesting that he had a hard time gaining separation from the Ravens' defensive backs. We'll have a better idea next week whether Higgins will be ready to return from his concussion and play against the Bills.

Atwell (hamstring) wasn't activated off IR ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Carolina, Mike Masala of Rams Wire reports.

Atwell was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and logged three full practices this week. Head coach Sean McVay expressed upon Atwell's return to practice that he expected the wideout to be activated for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, but that didn't end up happening by Saturday's deadline. Atwell will now look to make his return to game action next Sunday against Arizona.

The Falcons elevated Thompkins from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Jets, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Thompkins will provide additional depth at receiver, as Drake London (knee) is out again. This could be the 25-year-old's second appearance of the season, and the team will be able to elevate him just one more time going forward.

The Commanders placed Brooks (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Saturday.

Brooks will now be forced to miss at least four games before he is eligible to return. The 24-year-old played just seven offensive snaps and didn't record any stats during his lone appearance this season.

The Saints elevated Pettis from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

Pettis will be elevated for the third consecutive game and should serve as the team's punt returner once again. The 30-year-old has caught just one pass for 14 yards across his two appearances and should continue to have a limited role on offense. This is the final time the team can elevate Pettis, and it would have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play again.
