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.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.

Sam Darnold (glute) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Commanders, meaning Drew Lock will move back to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. Despite being inactive for Week 3, Milroe's services can still be utilized in an emergency situation.

Raridon (thigh) is listed as inactive Week 3 against the Jaguars.

Raridon saw the field for 36 snaps in Week 1, but his Week 2 showing was cut significantly after exiting the game with a thigh injury. After missing practice Thursday and Friday, the rookie will ultimately miss his first career game, paving the way for Cameron Latu and Tanner Arkin to work in a reserve capacity behind starting tight end Hunter Henry.

Coker (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at Cleveland, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

In the midst of his 8-138-2 performance on nine targets in Week 1 against the Bears, Coker has been dealing with an ankle injury that impacted his practice reps during both Week 2 and Week 3 prep. He was able to play last Sunday in Atlanta, handling a 76 percent snap share and reeling in eight of nine targets for 66 yards. Head coach Dave Canales told Mike Kaye of ESPN.com on Friday that he expects Coker to play this weekend, and the wide receiver's active status confirms as much. Coker thus will join fellow WR Tetairoa McMillan as the top pass catchers available to QB Bryce Young.

Giddens (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Giddens was a full participant in practice after being unavailable for Week 2 against the Chiefs due to a knee injury. He'll be a healthy scratch for Sunday's AFC South showdown, with Seth McGowan being the lone depth option out of the backfield behind bellcow running back Jonathan Taylor. Giddens' next opportunity to play is Week 4 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Mitchell (finger) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Mitchell was listed as questionable for Week 3 after sustaining a finger injury last week, and it turns out he is not ready to take the field Sunday. Mitchell -- who garnered 12 targets last week -- joins fellow pass catchers Omar Cooper (ankle) and Mason Taylor (thumb) on the sidelines, so Kenyon Sadiq and Isaiah Williams figure to see some extra opportunities behind top option Garrett Wilson.

Regis (elbow) is inactive Week 3 against the Patriots.

Regis amassed a combine 18 snaps over the first two weeks of his rookie season while working in a depth role at defensive tackle. He only saw the practice field on a limited basis Friday, setting the stage for an inactive status. The Texas A&M product will look to return Week 4 against Cincinnati.

Pili (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Pili drew the questionable tag for Sunday after ending Week 3 prep with back-to-back limited practices. He has not progressed enough in the league's concussion protocol to play against Washington, and his next chance to take the field is Week 4 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 4. Rylie Mills and Mike Morris are both in line to see a slight bump in defensive snaps due to Pili's absence.

Hoffman will start at right guard against the Bengals on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hoffman operated in a depth role through the first two regular-season games, but he'll work with the first-team offense Sunday as the Steelers overhaul the right side of the offensive line, with Max Iheanachor starting at right tackle. Spencer Anderson and Dylan Cook will be the depth options behind Hoffman and Iheanachor for Week 3.

Iheanachor will start at right tackle against the Bengals on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Iheanachor played a total of four offensive snaps through the first two games of the regular season while serving as a depth option, but the rookie first-rounder will be a starter Sunday for the first time in his short NFL career. The Steelers are overhauling their entire right side of the offensive line, with Brock Hoffman getting the nod at right guard next to Iheanachor.
