The Indianapolis Colts elevated wide receiver Laquon Treadwell from their practice squad to the active roster on Saturday.

Treadwell, a former first-round draft pick, will see his first action with the Colts in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills in Indianapolis.

The Colts previously ruled out Michael Pittman Jr. for the game after the wideout failed to participate in practice throughout the week due to back and finger injuries.

Josh Downs and Alec Pierce will be the top targets for quarterback Joe Flacco on Sunday as the Colts (4-5) host the Bills (7-2).

Treadwell, 29, has 111 catches for 1,242 yards and five touchdowns in 81 career games (24 starts) with the Minnesota Vikings (2016-19), Atlanta Falcons (2020), Jacksonville Jaguars (2021), Seattle Seahawks (2022) and Baltimore Ravens (2023). He was selected by the Vikings with the 23rd overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.
