Coates was released by the Chiefs on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coates' time with the team didn't last very long, as he just signed with the team back in February. He was always going to be hard-pressed to make Kansas City's final roster, as the team boasted plenty of talented pass catchers before his arrival.

The Chiefs signed Sammie Coates on Friday, Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coates has found a new home after being released by the Texans in mid-December. While he has some NFL experience under his belt, the Chiefs have plenty of talent in the wide receiver group, so he will have his work cut out for him to latch on to the 53-man roster.

Coates worked out for the Cowboys on Friday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coates was cut by the Texans on Tuesday, and has wasted no time in searching for a depth role elsewhere in the league. If Coates were to land in Dallas, he'd likely serve a deep depth role behind Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Cole Beasley, Allen Hurns and Tavon Austin (groin).

Coates was released by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coates appeared in 12 games with the Texans this season, but caught just one pass on two targets as he spent of majority of his time on special teams. The 25-year-old Auburn product will look to catch on elsewhere with the 2018 regular season winding down.

Coates (illness) is active for Monday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Coates received the questionable tag after being added to the injury report Saturday with an undisclosed illness, but he's apparently good to go Monday. The 24-year-old should serve his usual role as the Texans' No. 4 wide receiver with DeAndre Hopkins (foot) and Keke Coutee (hamstring) both active.

Coates is questionable for Monday's game against the Titans due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Coates was a late addition to the injury report and did not participate at Saturday's practice. The 25-year-old has made only one catch this season and with DeAndre Hopkins and Keke Coutee avoiding injury designations this, is unlikely to significantly involved offensively even if able to play.

Coates and Vyncint Smith are the in-house options to fill in for the injured Will Fuller (knee) on Week 9 against Dallas, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coates has served as the primary return man this season while playing just 35 offensive snaps in 2018. With Keke Coutee (hamstring) uncertain for Week 9 in Denver, both Coates and Smith may get increased chances, although we expect a heavy reliance on Houston's ground attack, which has averaged nearly 165 yards over the last two games.

Coates (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice but does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like Coates' limited participation in practice this week was all precautionary, as the wide receiver will not be on the Texans' injury report heading into the weekend. Expect Coates to suit up and be a feel go against Dallas on Sunday.

Coates was limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury.

EDGE Analysis

Coates caught his first pass of the season for 12 yards Sunday against the Patriots, but apparently didn't leave the game unscathed, as he's now dealing with a hamstring injury. The Texans hope Coates -- along with rookie Keke Coutee -- to fill the void left by Bruce Ellington (hamstring), though it was Coutee who dominated targets Sunday.

Coates caught his lone target during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Colts, picking up a gain of 12 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the big numbers the Texans' offense put up, it was a quiet debut for Coates as he sought to help fill the void left by Bruce Ellington. Instead, it was rookie Keke Coutee, also making his debut, who walked away with 11 catches. Between DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller, and -- potentially now -- Coutee, there might not be a ton of room for Coates' role to grow. He next takes on a Dallas defense that ranks sixth in the league in opponent receiving yardage per game.
