Montorie Foster Jr. WR | SEA

Foster (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.
Foster will be inactive for the second consecutive week. His next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 4 versus the Chargers.

Xavier Legette WR | CAR
Panthers' Xavier Legette: Inactive in Week 3
Legette (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Legette popped up on the Panthers' practice report Thursday as a non-participant due to a knee injury, which he followed up with a limited session Friday before being tagged as questionable to play Sunday. Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reported that Legette was expected to be a game-time decision, and Carolina has determined that a week off is prudent for the wide receiver. In Legette's absence, Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie and David Moore will be the tertiary options at the position behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker (ankle).

Trey Lance QB | LAC
Chargers' Trey Lance: Active against Bills
Lance (groin) is active Week 3 against the Bills.
It wasn't a very active practice week for Lance, who managed just a sole limited session on Friday due to his groin injury. It will ultimately be enough for Lance to suit up, however, relegating DJ Uiagalelei to the emergency QB3 role.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Steelers' Michael Pittman: Deemed active for Week 3
Pittman (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
The foot injury resulted in Pittman being a limited practice participant throughout the week and taking a questionable tag into Sunday, but the wideout appears to have avoided any setbacks and shouldn't face any major restrictions with his snap count in his return from a one-game absence. With Pittman back in the fold, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard are both likely to see their playing time take hits.
-
DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bills' DJ Moore: Active for Week 3
Moore (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
It was reported shortly before kickoff that Moore was expected to suit up Sunday, and he will indeed do so. It's unclear how close Moore is to 100 percent after sandwiching a couple limited practices around a Thursday 'DNP' on the injury report, so it remains to be seen if he will fill his usual role in Week 3.

Darius Slayton WR | IND
Colts' Darius Slayton: Not available for Week 3
Slayton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Slayton signed with the Colts on Monday, two weeks after being released by the Giants. The move was to bolster Indianapolis' depth at wide receiver due to the absence of Alec Pierce (heel, IR). However, Slayton is not quite ready to make his Colts' debut, and his next opportunity to do so is Week 4 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 4. The Colts will roll with six active wide receivers Sunday in Josh Downs, Keenan Allen, Laquon Treadwell, Deion Burks, Anthony Gould and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Craig Woodson SAF | NE
Patriots' Craig Woodson: Won't suit up against Jags
Woodson (shoulder) is inactive Week 3 against the Jaguars.
Woodson only saw the practice field this week for a limited session on Friday, so it's not too surprising to see the second-year safety end up on the shelf. Jaylen Reed and Mike Brown are candidates to see extra snaps in the secondary in Woodson's stead.
-
Tyjae Spears RB | TEN
Titans' Tyjae Spears: Active Sunday
Spears (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at the Giants, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The Titans backfield hosted two injuries this week, and while Tony Pollard (ankle) got back to a full practice Friday, Spears logged only one limited session (also Friday) and ended up listed as questionable for Week 3 action. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that Tennessee were set to monitor Spears pregame, with rainy and windy conditions likely to play a role in whether or not to make the running back active. Now that Spears is available to the offense, it's unclear if he'll merely be available in case of emergency, with Pollard and potentially rookie fifth-rounder Nicholas Singleton handling most of the RB reps.
-
Riley Leonard QB | IND
Colts' Riley Leonard: Emergency QB3 vs. Houston
Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Colts' emergency third quarterback against the Texans on Sunday.
For a third consecutive week, Leonard will operate as the emergency QB3 behind starter Daniel Jones and backup Anthony Richardson. That prohibits Leonard from playing Sunday unless both Jones and Richardson were to be removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
-
Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Cleared to play Sunday
Warren (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
A limited participant throughout Week 3 prep before being deemed questionable heading into Sunday, Warren ultimately received the green light to play. After splitting the snaps and touches out of the backfield fairly equitably with Rico Dowdle this season before Dowdle missed the entire fourth quarter of the Week 2 loss to the Patriots with a toe injury, Warren could be primed for a workhorse role in Week 3. Dowdle won't be available against the Bengals, leaving Travis Homer and Lew Nichols as the available depth options behind Warren, who played every offensive snap in the fourth quarter last week while Dowdle was sidelined.
