McCoy (knee) announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy has decided to hang up his cleats after an 11-year career that included stints with the Buccaneers, Panthers and the Raiders. The defensive lineman recorded 334 tackles, including 59.5 sacks, while forcing six fumbles, recovering four fumbles and deflecting 24 passes over 140 games. The six-time Pro Bowler selection and one-time All-Pro selection was one of the most dominant at his position during his career.

McCoy's (knee) suspension has been lifted by the NFL, but he remains on injured reserve, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy has served his six-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy, so he'll be eligible to return to action once his knee injury heals up. That won't be until next season, however, as McCoy has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2021 campaign.

McCoy has been dealt a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy will serve the suspension immediately while he's on the team's injured reserve list. McCoy is already out for the remainder of the season so this suspension won't have much of an effect on the Raiders' defensive line depth.

McCoy (knee) has landed on the Raiders' IR list and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
EDGE Analysis
After playing in only nine snaps in a Raiders uniform in the season opener, McCoy sustained a serious knee injury that will likely force him to miss the rest of the 2021 season. To replace McCoy, the Raiders' added Damion Square, however, it seems Las Vegas is leaning toward giving McCoy's lost snaps to Quinton Jefferson and Darius Philon.

McCoy suffered a season-ending left knee injury in Monday's 33-27 overtime win over the Ravens and is expected to go on injured reserve in the coming days, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Raiders head coach Jon Gruden didn't go into specifics about McCoy's injury when he met with the media Tuesday, he admitted that the defensive tackle likely would be in store for a long-term absence. Follow-up tests on McCoy's knee seemingly have confirmed Gruden's worst fears, cutting short the 33-year-old's 2021 campaign after he played just nine snaps. Considering McCoy also missed the entire 2020 season with a ruptured right quadriceps, his days as a disruptive force on the interior could be over given his advancing age and the fact that he's lost consecutive years to lower-body injuries. The Raiders added Damion Square to the roster Tuesday to help restore depth at defensive tackle, but Quinton Jefferson and Darius Philon are likelier candidates to pick up reps with McCoy out.

The Raiders ruled McCoy (knee) out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy had to be carted off the field, which suggests the knee injury is probably pretty serious. The six-time Pro Bowler was looking to get back on track after he missed the entire 2020 campaign with a ruptured quadriceps.

McCoy (quadriceps) signed a one-year deal with the Raiders on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran defensive tackle joined the Cowboys on a three-year, $18.3 million deal ahead of last season, but he suffered a ruptured right quad tendon in training camp and was released. Nearly a full year later, McCoy is now healthy and will compete for a role with the Raiders. He last saw action in 2019 with the Panthers and totaled 37 tackles (15 solo) and five sacks in 16 games.

Dallas released McCoy (quadriceps) on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction is made possible by an injury waiver in McCoy's contract, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 32-year-old, who suffered a ruptured right quad tendon Monday, will retain his $3 million signing bonus but the Cowboys are freed up from the rest of the three-year, $18.3 million deal McCoy signed back in March.

McCoy suffered a ruptured right quad tendon during Monday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
As a result, the defensive tackle will require surgery and will be out for the season. In his absence, there will be added snaps for the likes of Antwaun Woods, rookie Neville Gallimore and second-year player Trystan Hill.

It appears as though McCoy suffered a torn ACL during Monday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Cowboys will wait for the results of the defensive tackle's MRI, but it looks as though the team is bracing to be without McCoy this season. The 32-year-old, who signed a three-year, $18.3 million contract with Dallas in March, had been in line to fill the void created by the offseason departure of Maliek Collins.
