Oliver (hip) is available for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

Oliver didn't play in the Week 2 win over Detroit due to a hip injury. However, despite carrying a questionable tag for the Week 3 meeting with the Chargers, the veteran will be back on the field, likely resulting in less work for DeWayne Carter.

Ward (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Ward tweaked his groin during the Colts' overtime loss to the Chiefs in Week 2. He drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC South tilt following a DNP-LP-FP practice log, and the veteran cornerback has been given the green light to play after going through pregame warmups. Cam Taylor-Britt will operate in a depth role behind Ward and Sauce Gardner for Week 3.

Shelley (hamstring) is active Week 3 against the Bills.

Shelley was at risk of missing his first game of the season after sitting out practice Thursday, but returned on a limited basis Friday and ended up getting cleared to play. The undrafted free agent has primarily served on special teams to start his career, and he did pick up his first two career tackles in Week 2 against the Raiders. He'll be slotted for a similar role this week in Buffalo.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
