Coates' time with the team didn't last very long, as he just signed with the Chiefs 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.

Coates was one of three receivers limited by a hamstring -- Will Fuller and Keke Coutee being the others. He is expected to play Week 2 against the Titans, but after playing six snaps on offense last week we don't foresee him making a big splash.

The Steelers traded Coates and a 2018 seventh-round pick to the Browns on Saturday in exchange for a 2018 sixth-round pick, the Steelers' official website reports.

A 2015 third-round pick, Coates made a splash early last season with six receptions of 40-plus yards through five weeks, but the rest of his year was a disastrous sequence of injuries and ugly drops. He would've been no higher than fifth on the wideout depth chart in Pittsburgh, whereas the Browns might eventually give him a look in the No. 3 or 4 spot. With Coates out of the picture, Justin Hunter likely will stick on Pittsburgh's final roster as an occasional deep threat off the bench.
