McKoy was let go by the Steelers on Tuesday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

McKoy was part of a wave of cuts for the Steelers, as they trimmed their roster down to 85 players. The undrafted free agent was one of 11 wideouts on the roster, but he will now look for a new home elsewhere prior to the start of the regular season.

Proehl (leg) cleared waivers and reverted to the VIkings' injured reserve Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Proehl was waived/injured by Minnesota on Monday, and he unsurprisingly went unclaimed on waivers after recently being carted off the practice field. The 22-year-old will miss the rest of the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

Eagles was waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Eagles joined Dallas as a UDFA in the spring, and he apparently didn't do enough during the first few weeks of camp to warrant a longer look. The former Longhorn will have to hope to latch on with a new team.

Davis caught four of five targets for a team-high 56 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 23-13 victory over the Jaguars in Preseason Week 1.

Davis made a high-point touchdown catch, leaping over the defender at the end of the first half. He managed to hang onto the ball while falling backwards in the end zone and keeping his feet in bounds. Davis continued his strong stretch of performances with a deep-ball catch at Tuesday's practice, securing the ball as he fell to the ground along the sidelines, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports. "I think Davion is a great example of a young player who is just going to control the things that he can control," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. The Browns are loaded at wide receiver however, and there's very little chance of Davis making the initial 53-man roster.

Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Lockett has missed recent practices due to a groin injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Any minor health concern to a player of Lockett's stature oftentimes results in teams taking a cautious approach, and the Seahawks are doing exactly that with the seventh-year pro. Due to the investment Seattle made in him this offseason -- he inked a four-year, $69.2 million extension with the team back in March -- he'll likely remain on the sideline until the issue is a thing of the past. As such, Lockett may be in danger of sitting out Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos.

Eskridge (toe) was activated from the PUP list Tuesday after he passed a physical, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Eskridge will have nearly four weeks to prepare for Seattle's regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 12 at Indianapolis. Coach Pete Carroll told John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site that the rookie will be "ready" for Week 1 and may even be able to suit up for the team's third preseason game Aug. 28 versus the Chargers. For the time being, Eskridge will continue to improve his conditioning with an eye toward suiting up for that contest.

Beckham (knee) ran full speed and made hard cuts in a series of individual drills Tuesday, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

Beckham drew a lot of attention from the crowd that showed up for the Browns' practice. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski did not say whether Beckham would participate in joint practices with the Giants later this week, revealing only that the receiver will ramp up according to the team's plan.

Claypool suffered only a minor ankle sprain in Tuesday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Claypool and the Steelers appear to have dodged a bullet, considering he required assistance to leave the field Tuesday. Barring further testing revealing something more severe, the second-year wideout should be on track to play Week 1 versus the Bills.

Claypool (leg) didn't suffer a significant injury during Tuesday's practice session, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Things didn't look good when Claypool required the assistance of two teammates to leave the field, but it appears he's avoided anything serious. It's still unclear how much time the wideout will miss, but news on that front should surface once he has undergone all of the necessary tests.

Cooper (ankle) intends to run the full route tree during practice Wednesday in preparation for Saturday's preseason contest versus the Texans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Cooper indicated that he feels 100 percent healthy but will test everything out Wednesday before determining whether or not he will suit up Saturday. Per David Helman of the Cowboys' official site, Cooper will only play about 10 or so snaps in the contest if he does suit up, so it doesn't sound like he will be heavily involved even if he's given the green light.
