Restructuring contract
McKinney's $4.25 million salary will be converted to a bonus for 2026, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Packers are restructuring McKinney's contract to free up cap space. McKinney is entering the third year of a four-year, $67 million contract he signed with Green Bay in March of 2024. He has compiled 10 interceptions and 195 tackles in his first two regular seasons with the Packers as one of the NFL's best safeties.

Reaches tackling century mark
McKinney finished the 2025 regular season with 107 tackles (54 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass defenses (two interceptions) and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025.
Analysis: McKinney reached 100-plus tackles for the second time in his six-year career, with both instances coming over the last three seasons. He also reached double-digit pass defenses for a third consecutive season (and fourth time for his NFL career), though his two interceptions were far less than the eight he accrued during the 2024 campaign. McKinney signed a four-year, $67 million contract with the Packers in March 2024, so the Alabama product is under contract with Green Bay through 2027.

Idle for Week 18
McKinney (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: McKinney will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's regular-season finale, seeing as the Packers cannot improve from the No. 7 seed in the NFC for the postseason. Kitan Oladapo is poised to start at safety alongside Evan Williams for Week 18. McKinney will end the 2025 regular season with 107 tackles (54 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass defenses (two interceptions) and one forced fumble over 16 games.

Analysis: McKinney has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in all seven of Green Bay's regular-season contests thus far, recording 43 tackles (22 solo) and three pass breakups, including one interception, in that span.

McKinney (ankle/knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: McKinney tweaked his ankle and knee during the Packers' Week 7 win over the Cardinals.

Picks up ankle injury
McKinney (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: McKinney has not missed a defensive snap so far this season, but he appears to have hurt his ankle in this past Sunday's win over Arizona, during which he finished with eight tackles and a defensed pass. The veteran safety may not be dealing with a major issue, though, since he was able to practice in a limited fashion to begin the week. If McKinney can return to full practice participation by the end of Friday, he should be fully cleared to suit up against the Steelers on Sunday.

The issue kept the third-year safety out of action until Week 17, when he played 83 percent of the team's defensive snaps and racked up seven tackles against the Colts. Despite the lengthy absence, McKinney's role as a starter upon his return was never in question, and as part of the Giants' young core, he will be looking for a contract…read more

Prominent role in return
McKinney recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defended on 46 defensive snaps in Sunday's 38-10 win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: McKinney logged his second-most tackles in a game during his first game back from his seven-game absence while on the reserve/NFI list with a hand injury. The third-year safety only played 83 percent of defensive snaps, though he still saw the third-highest playing time of Giants defenders during this lopsided victory. However, this was the first time he has not logged a special-teams snap this season, so it's possible the team still wanted to bring him back slowly after being activated…read more

Likely to return Sunday
The Giants activated McKinney (hand) from the reserve/non-football injury list ahead of Sunday's game against Indianapolis, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: McKinney hurt his left hand in an ATV accident during the Giants' bye week and hasn't seen game action since Week 8. Coach Brian Daboll indicated earlier this week that McKinney wasn't likely to return to action against the Colts, but the safety was designated to return to practice Thursday and has now been activated just two days later. McKinney logged 100 percent of New York's defensive snaps in his eight games so far this season, but he could be on a snap count Sunday given the length of his…read more

Practice window begins
The Giants announced Thursday that McKinney (hand) has been designated for a return to practice from the reserve/non-football injury list, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Brian Daboll said Monday he doesn't expect McKinney to return in time for Sunday's contest against the Colts, but it's encouraging to see the safety at least resume practicing. New York will have a 21-day window to evaluate McKinney's health, and he can be fully activated at any point during that stretch.

Week 17 return unlikely
Head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that McKinney's (hand) status hasn't changed, meaning he likely won't be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list prior to the Week 17 matchup against the Colts, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: McKinney is now in line to miss an eighth consecutive game come New Year's Day, as he's been working his way back from the hand injury he sustained in an ATV accident while vacationing back in November. Julian Love and Jason Pinnock should continue operating as the Giants' starting safeties for the time being, while Tony Jefferson is slated to handle rotational secondary snaps.

Won't be activated for Week 16
McKinney (hand) is not expected to be activated for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Giants reportedly still hope McKinney plays again before the end of the regular season, though he will only have two such opportunities after the conclusion of Saturday's contest against Minnesota. The 23-year-old safety continues to work his way back from a hand injury suffered in an ATV action while vacationing back in November, and he remains on the reserve/non-football injury list.

Not expected to play Sunday
Coach Brian Daboll said McKinney (hand) won't practice Wednesday and isn't expected to play Sunday against Washington, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: McKinney, who sustained a hand injury during an ATV accident while on vacation in November, remains on the reserve/non-football injury list and will likely miss a sixth straight game. The 23-year-old safety is still expected to return this season, but the Giants have only three regular-season games left following Sunday's divisional showdown against the Commanders.

Future availability still in doubt
McKinney had the pins removed from his left hand this week, but according to head coach Brian Daboll, the team still isn't sure if he'll be back this season, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: McKinney remains on the reserve/non-football injury list due to the hand injury he suffered in an ATV accident while on vacation in early November. Although the removal of the pins in his hand is a sign of progress for the 23-year-old safety, he still may need more time for his hand to heal before getting back on the field. The next step for McKinney is likely to garner a return designation from the NFI list.

Progressing but unlikely to play
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that McKinney could get the pins in his injured left hand removed soon but is doubtful to play this week, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McKinney was scheduled for a checkup Wednesday to assess his recovery from the left hand injury he sustained in an ATV accident in November. The third-year safety is currently on the reserve/non-football injury list, but he's stated that he expects to he'll be able to return this season. He'll need to have the pins in the injured hand removed before he can come back, and Daboll suggested McKinney might play with a club once that takes place, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News.

Expected to return this season
McKinney, who was originally expected to miss the season after injuring his hand in an ATV accident, is planning to return later this season, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.
Analysis: McKinney was placed on the non-football injury list Nov. 7 and will be eligible to make his return following this week's game against the Commanders. However, the 23-year old safety is still expected to be out for at least a few more weeks. This still comes as good news since there was previously no timetable for the defensive signal caller's return. McKinney should instantly improve a secondary that has struggled recently due to injuries and will look to help the team make the playoffs for the…read more

Shifts to reserve/NFI
The Giants placed McKinney (hand) on their reserve/non-football injury list Monday.
Analysis: It was previously reported that McKinney sustained a hand injury while on vacation and is expected to miss multiple weeks, per Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus. The 23-year-old was off to a solid start to his 2022 campaign, which included 38 tackles, one sack, four passes defensed and one forced fumble across the team's first eight games. Dane Belton will be the expected beneficiary for added reps while McKinney remains sidelined.

Injured on vacation
McKinney suffered a hand injury while on vacation and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: In an unfortunate turn of events, McKinney suffered a hand injury while on an ATV tour in Cabo during the Giants' bye week and will now be forced to sidelined for "multiple weeks" according to the 23-year-old. The exact details of the injury have yet to be disclosed, but the safety is a big loss for New York's secondary after he's posted 38 tackles, including a sack, four pass deflections and a forced fumble over the first eight contests of the year.

Notches first career sack
McKinney totaled two tackles, including one sack, against Seattle in a Week 8 loss.
Analysis: McKinney went untouched on a blitz and crushed Geno Smith late in the first half to record his first sack as a professional. However, he also finished with a season-low two tackles. McKinney has 38 tackles through eight games on the campaign, and he's yet to record an interception after leading New York with five last year.

Posts season-high nine tackles
McKinney tallied nine tackles (five solo) in a Week 6 victory over the Ravens.
Analysis: McKinney recorded five or six tackles in four of the first five weeks of the campaign, and he stepped up his production with a campaign-high nine tackles in Week 6. He's yet to force a turnover this season but did pick off five passes in 2021. He has the potential to be an IDP asset but hasn't quite panned out that way so far this season.

Consistent production to start year
McKinney recorded six tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during Monday's 23-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: McKinney has recorded at least five tackles in each of the first three games this season, giving him 16 total. Last year, the 2020 second-round pick broke out with 93 tackles and five interceptions, including one pick-six. He's yet to replicate that type of playmaking in 2022, but his consistent production to start the year has given him a solid fantasy floor moving forward.

Returns to active roster
McKinney was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and will be eligible to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: With the Giants' secondary missing three separate players due to COVID-19, McKinney's return is a welcome one against a pass-heavy Cowboys offense. The second-year safety is in the midst of a breakout season, accumulating 70 tackles, five interceptions and one touchdown through 13 games this season.

Lands on COVID list
The Giants placed McKinney on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday as an unvaccinated high-risk close contact.
Analysis: McKinney landed on the list in early November, but he was quickly restored to the roster when his test result was determined to be a false positive. Though his latest placement on the list isn't the result of a positive, league protocols call for unvaccinated players to remain away from the team for at least five days if they're deemed to be a high-risk close contact of an infected person. As such, McKinney won't be eligible to report back to the Giants' facility until Saturday, one day before…read more

Returns pick for score
McKinney recorded four tackles and an interception in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: McKinney had a disjointed week leading up to the game, as he was placed on reserve/COVID-19 list before it was revealed the test was a false positive. However, that didn't stop him from making a pivotal interception early in the third quarter, which he returned for a 41-yard touchdown. His effort put the Giants up 17-13, and the team never trailed again. McKinney now has seven passes defended and four interceptions across nine games this season.

Analysis: McKinney will return to team facilities Friday, making him eligible to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Raiders. Star running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) will also return to the team Friday, but because he was dealing with injury prior to landing on the COVID list, his status for Week 9 remains more unclear.

Analysis: McKinney's vaccine status is unclear, but if he's vaccinated and able to return two negative tests within 24 hours, he will be able to play Sunday against the Raiders. Expect an update with the safety's vaccine status within the next couple of days. It's likely Logan Ryan will see an increased role Sunday if McKinney is unable to suit up.

Snags two interceptions
McKinney had three tackles (all solo) and two interceptions during Sunday's 38-11 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: McKinney played every defensive snap for the third straight contest, and he picked off a pair of passes to supply New York with two of its only positive defensive players during the blowout. The 2020 second-round pick is filling an every-down role for the Giants this season, but he's not producing enough (27 total tackles in six games) to be an IDP option.

McKinney notched 25 tackles (14 solo), one defended pass and one interception through six games in 2020.
Analysis: McKinney missed much of his rookie campaign while recovering from offseason foot surgery, but he managed to carve out a large defensive role (over 50 percent of snaps) during the Giants' final three regular-season games. The 2020 second-round pick stands to get every chance to compete for a starting role come 2021.

The Giants activated McKinney (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: McKinney returned to practice Monday and looked good all week, so he'll make his NFL debut Sunday against the Bengals.

Still lined up for post-bye return
McKinney (foot) is likely to see his 21-day window to return from injured reserve begin in the next couple weeks, with a target activation date coming sometime after the Giants' Week 11 bye, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: This falls right in line with reports from a few weeks ago that suggested McKinney wouldn't see the field until after the bye week. The second-round pick has barely seen the practice field this year after he underwent surgery to address a fractured left foot in late August. There will likely be a bit of a learning curve upon his official return, but per league rules, he'll have a maximum of three weeks to get acclimated on the practice field before the Giants must activate him.

Analysis: McKinney was forced to undergo surgery to repair a fractured foot last week, so this news isn't surprising.

In the meantime, look for recent acquisition Logan Ryan to handle starting free safety duties to begin the season.

Hoping for November return
McKinney (foot) hopes to retake the field after the Giants' bye week in late November, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: McKinney underwent surgery on his fractured left foot, but it's possible that he won't lose his entire rookie campaign due to the injury. The second-round pick could make a return following the Giants' bye in Week 12, which would allow him roughly three months to get fully healthy. Prior to suffering the injury, McKinney looked primed to handle a key role in New York's secondary right off the bat.
