Streater has been hired as a scouting assistant by the Browns, effectively serving as an announcement for his retirement form the NFL.
EDGE Analysis
Streater last played a snap as a member of the Browns during the 2018 season, when he appeared in three games before landing on injured reserve due to a neck issue. The former Temple standout began his career with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2012, where he most notably logged 888 receiving yards and four scores in his sophomore campaign.

Streater (neck) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Petrak of The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Streater was declared out for the season Monday, so his placement on IR was merely a formality. The veteran receiver will look to work his way back for 2019 training camp.

Streater (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Streater suffered the neck injury while on punt coverage in the first quarter. Fortunately, the wideout does not need surgery and the team doctors do expect a full recovery. Streater will likely be placed on injured reserve in the next day or two.

Streater won't return to Sunday's game against the Chargers after suffering a stinger in his neck, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Streater sustained the injury while covering a punt in the first quarter. Damion Ridley should step in as the Browns' No. 3 receiver with Rashard Higgins (knee) inactive Sunday.

Streater signed a contract with the Browns on Monday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic Cleveland reports.
EDGE Analysis
The addition of Streater replenishes the Browns' depth at receiver after the team traded away Josh Gordon (hamstring) earlier in the day. Most recently with the Bills, Streater is now on to his fourth team in as many years and will provide Cleveland with a valuable veteran presence in an otherwise youthful position group. It's unclear how he'll fit into the offensive picture, though Streater's potential production would more likely come at the expense of Rashard Higgins or Antonio Callaway than Jarvis Landry.

Streater was part of Saturday's roster cutdown, John Murphy of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bills kept Andre Holmes as their veteran depth option, then used the fifth and sixth spots on rookies Robert Foster and Ray-Ray McCloud. Streater has enough experience where he'll probably be given another chance somewhere once injuries strike around the league.

Streater, who missed all of last season due to a dislocated big toe suffered in the preseason, is healthy again and has been practicing with the second unit, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Streater hasn't been on the fantasy radar since 2013, when he tallied 888 yards and four touchdowns with the Raiders. The Bills really liked him last summer, where he had a shot at a starting job until the injury did him in. With Kelvin Benjamin the only sure thing in the Buffalo receiving corps, Streater has a good shot at landing one of the 3-4-5 spots, and he could work his way up to as high as No. 2 if Zay Jones continues to disappoint.

Streater signed a reserve/future contract with the Bills on Monday, Mike Rodak of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Streater impressed the Bills' coaching staff in training camp but hurt his toe in August and was let go prior to the season opener with an injury settlement. Although his career has largely gone downhill since his breakout 2013 campaign with the Raiders when he caught 60 passes for 888 yards and four scores, Streater has a legitimate shot to earn on a roster spot with Buffalo if he can avoid the injury bug.

Streater (toe) was let go Saturday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Streater actually had a shot at a starting job at one point, but a toe injury ultimately did him in. Considering the Bills later traded for Kaelin Clay, Streater probably doesn't fit into the team's immediate plans in the short term, even when he gets healthy. But things can change quickly, while we'd be surprised if a veteran with his size and experience stayed unemployed once healthy.

Streater (toe) has not been spotted in his uniform and appears unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason finale, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Streater had been climbing up the depth chart in rapid fashion, but the toe injury -- suffered in the second preseason game -- really set him back and may have cost him an outside shot at a starter's role. We'd guess he did enough to make the team, but being able to get back for practice next week would help remove any consideration from him receiving a long-term injury designation.
