The Cowboys waived McMath on Tuesday.
McMath has appeared in 14 regular-season games since being selected by Tennessee in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He joined the Cowboys' practice squad in early January after being let go by the Colts in October. McMath entered training camp with an outside chance of making the 53-man roster, and across the Cowboys' three preseason games, he caught five passes on eight targets for 80 yards. Assuming he clears waivers, McMath will look to catch on with a team in need of wide receiver depth, likely on the practice squad.

Rotowire
McMath recorded one catch on two targets for 39 yards in Thursday's 27-13 loss to the Cowboys.

Titans' Racey McMath: Four targets in return
Rotowire
McMath saw four targets but failed to record a catch in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Jaguars.
McMath made his season debut after spending the entire campaign on injured reserve with a hip injury. He saw the majority of his opportunity late in the game as the Titans were forced to abandon the run while playing from two scores down. McMath isn't likely to see a significant role in the Tennessee offense, particularly once Treylon Burks (concussion) is able to return.

Titans' Racey McMath: Predictably activated
Rotowire
McMath (hip) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
The 2021 sixth-round pick hasn't played this season after suffering a major hip injury back during training camp. McMath was used sparingly in his rookie season, accumulating just two catches for eight yards across 106 offensive snaps, but given the team's lack of standout depth at wide receiver and injuries to both Treylon Burks (concussion) and C.J. Board (ribs), it's possible McMath becomes a relevant factor offensively for the first time in his career.

Titans' Racey McMath: Nearing return from IR
Rotowire
Tennessee designated McMath (hip) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
McMath, a 2021 sixth-round pick, has been sidelined all season while recovering from a significant hip injury suffered during the preseason. Because he's been sidelined for several months, McMath may require more than one week of practices before being ready for game action, so he may not be formally activated from IR ahead of this Sunday's game against Jacksonville. The Titans will have 21 days to evaluate McMath in practice before deciding whether to add him to the 53-man roster or keep him on IR for the rest of the season.
