McMillan (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

After McMillan was added to the Panthers' Week 10 practice report Friday as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury, coach Dave Canales expressed "concern" for the rookie wide receiver's status due to something that "popped up" during drills, per Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. McMillan thus took a questionable designation into the weekend, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that he was expected to suit up for Sunday's game, which has come to pass. It's unclear if McMillan will have a cap on his snaps, but considering New Orleans' defense has allowed the fourth-most TDs (11) and 10th-most yards per target (8.3) to opposing WRs in nine contests this season, he's a decent enough bet to take advantage of any looks he gets from QB Bryce Young.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback.

Lamar Jackson is healthy for a second consecutive week after missing three straight games. That leaves Rush as the emergency QB, meaning he can only enter Sunday's contest if Jackson and Tyler Huntley are removed due to injury, illness or ejection.

Swift (groin/personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

After he was sidelined for the first time all season in the Bears' Week 9 win over the Bengals, Swift returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant. He appeared to clear up any lingering concern about the health of his groin by practicing fully Thursday, but he ended up taking a questionable tag into Sunday after a personal matter kept him off the field for the Bears' final session of the week Friday. Though Swift is now ready to play ahead of Sunday's contest and isn't expected to be operating with any restrictions in his return to the lineup, he could be at risk of ceding more work to No. 2 back Kyle Monangai, who broke out with 198 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 29 touches in the victory over the Bengals. Head coach Ben Johnson suggested Friday that he would likely take a hot-hand approach to the backfield between Swift and Monangai during Sunday's contest, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.

Herbert (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

A groin issue limited Herbert's practice participation Thursday and Friday, and the injury is severe enough for the fifth-year pro to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Kene Nwangwu will be available as the Jets' RB3 behind Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis in Herbert's absence. Herbert will look to be available for the Jets' Week 11 clash against the Patriots on Thursday.

Tillman (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Ahead of being activated from injured reserve Saturday, Tillman logged a week of full practices, which should position him to step back in a key role in the Browns passing game in his first game action since Week 4. His return comes at an opportune time, with Isaiah Bond (foot) inactive, though it remains to be seen what level of volume Tillman will see alongside fellow WR Jerry Jeudy, as tight ends Harold Fannin and David Njoku are both candidates to see plenty of looks from QB Dillon Gabriel on Sunday. In four games played thus far, Tillman has recorded an 11/106/2 receiving line on 20 targets.

Kamara (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at Carolina.

Kamara has toughed out an ankle injury for more than a month at this point, but despite being available for each of the last four games, he turned 44 touches into just 167 yards from scrimmage and no TDs, while his snap share ranged from 51 to 84 percent during that span. Since Devin Neal took over the No. 2 RB role from Kendre Miller (torn ACL) as of Week 8, the former has only seven touches for 23 total yards in two contests, so Kamara remains the top option out of the Saints backfield.

Gordon (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Gordon suffered an ankle injury that caused him to miss the second half of Miami's Week 9 loss to the Ravens. However, he managed to log three limited practices in preparation for the matchup against Buffalo, which was enough for him to suit up. Gordon should get a handful of carries while serving as De'Von Achane's backup.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Walker will be a healthy scratch for a fourth consecutive week, and he's unlikely to play Week 11 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 16 unless the Ravens require depth at wide receiver. Baltimore will go with five active wide receivers in Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester in Week 10.

Fannin (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Fannin was added to the Browns' Week 10 injury report after not practicing Thursday, but the tight end returned to a limited session Friday before being listed as 'questionable' for Sunday's contest. With his active status now confirmed, barring any in-game issues Fannin should continue to serve as a key passing target for QB Dillon Gabriel. Through eight games to date, Fannin paces his team in catches (38) and receiving yards (352) on 51 targets, to go along with two TDs, while fellow TE David Njoku has logged 27 catches for 260 yards (second on the Browns in both categories) on 41 targets, with a pair of scores in seven contests.

Ali (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Ali worked exclusively on special teams in the two games since the Ravens' Week 7 bye. He will be a sideline observer for Sunday's game in Minnesota as the Ravens go with three running backs on the active roster in Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell. Ali's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 16.
