Sunday's actives and inactives are in, and a handful of notable names headline the Week 3 availability decisions.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Actives today include: 🏈Panthers WR Jalen Coker 🏈Bills WRs DJ Moore and Keon Coleman 🏈Steelers RB Jaylen Warren 🏈Giants LB Brian Burns Inactive: 🏈Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. 🏈Jets WR AD Mitchell 🏈Panthers WR Xavier Legette 🏈Giants RB Devin Singletary
Among the actives: Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker, Bills wide receivers DJ Moore and Keon Coleman, Steelers running back Jaylen Warren, and Giants linebacker Brian Burns. On the inactive side: Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette, and Giants running back Devin Singletary.
Porter Jr. sitting out again is notable — the Steelers' top cornerback was already reported as unlikely to make his season debut Sunday against the Bengals, with a trade still a possibility. Legette's absence leaves Carolina thinner at receiver, though Coker being up gives the Panthers a healthy option.
For the Bills, getting both Moore and Coleman active is a positive health sign for an offense that had listed them as questionable. The Giants, meanwhile, get Burns on the field despite his ankle issue, a boost for a defense facing the Titans.
