News

  • Cut by Dolphins

    The Dolphins released McKinney on Monday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: A 2015 second-round pick, McKinney spent his first six NFL seasons in Houston before a shoulder injury ended his 2020 season after just four games. The Mississippi State product was dealt to Miami in March, but he was unable to crack the final roster. Elandon Roberts likely will bump into a starting inside linebacker role for the Dolphins now. With at least 95 tackles in four straight seasons before his injury-shortened 2020 campaign, McKinney could compete for a starting job elsewhere.

  • Practices at minicamp

    McKinney (shoulder) participated in June's mandatory minicamp, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: McKinney played four games for the Texans in 2020 before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in October. During that brief time, the 2015 second-round pick generated 37 tackles and a pass breakup. McKinney is expected to immediately slot into a starting linebacker role in Miami.

  • Dealt to Miami

    The Texans are trading McKinney (shoulder) to the Dolphins in exchange for Shaq Lawson and a late-round pick swap, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: McKinney could well replace Elandon Roberts (knee) as an interior starter alongside Jerome Baker, giving the Dolphins some much needed help at off-ball linebacker. His modest versatility also could help fill part of the role vacated by Kyle Van Noy, whom the Dolphins cut last week. McKinney underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in October, but he appears on track for the tentative start of offseason activities.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    McKinney (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old was already ruled out for the rest of the 2020 season and is set to undergo shoulder surgery, so this was just a procedural move for the Texans. McKinney totaled 37 tackles in four games and remains under contract with Houston for next year.

  • Done for season

    McKinney (shoulder) will be placed on injured reserve and miss the rest of the season, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: McKinney, who missed Sunday's win over the Jaguars due to the shoulder injury, needs to undergo season-ending surgery. He'll be replaced by Tyrell Adams, who filled in for McKinney on Sunday and recorded 13 tackles, one for a loss, and recovered a fumble. McKinney's season ends with 37 tackles over four games.

  • Unavailable against Jaguars

    McKinney (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.

    Analysis: McKinney is second on the team with 37 tackles through four games, so the Texans' defense could struggle without the Mississippi State product in the fold. Tyrell Adams is expected to start in his place Sunday, but Dylan Cole should rotate in as well.

  • Questionable against Jaguars

    McKinney (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: It's encouraging that McKinney didn't miss any practice time, but his final status won't be revealed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. McKinney ranks second on the team with 37 tackles through four games, and if he's forced to miss time, expect Tyrell Adams to step into the starting role.

  • Ten stops Week 4

    McKinney made 10 tackles in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: McKinney and Zach Cunningham were once again busy in the middle of the field. Each registered 10 tackles, and this was McKinney's third consecutive double-digit tackle effort. The 27-year-old has 38 tackles through four weeks and is on pace to set a career high.

  • Piles up 11 stops

    McKinney made 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: For a third straight week, McKinney has played less than 90 percent of the defensive snaps, but he's been a consistent contributor nonetheless. The sixth-year linebacker led the team in tackles and now has 28 total stops this season. He should be able to reach 100 tackles for the fourth time in five years.

    Analysis: The interior linebacking duo of McKinney and Zach Cunningham put in a heavy workload Sunday, recording 25 tackles between them. McKinney has 17 stops through two weeks, putting him on pace for a fourth consecutive 100-tackle season.

  • Recovers from ankle surgery

    McKinney has recovered from arthroscopic ankle surgery in February, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: McKinney made a speedy recovery from the procedure and is expected to be ready for training camp. "I'm feeling great," McKinney said. "I'm working hard and trying to maintain my body, work on flexibility, work on explosion and get in shape to be ready whenever we get the call to get back together." McKinney recorded 101 tackles, one sack, 5.5 tackles for losses, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 14 games in 2019.

  • Gets ankle surgery

    McKinney is recovering from arthroscopic ankle surgery, with the expectation of a full recovery before Week 1 of 2020, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The rehab process may impact McKinney's participation in the offseason program but shouldn't put him in any danger of missing the regular-season opener. Entering the second season of a five-year, $50 million contract, the 27-year-old is working on four consecutive years with 95 or more tackles, though his pass-rushing impact has dropped off in recent years, and he received the lowest PFF grade (64.8) of his career in 2019, ranking 30th among 89 qualified linebackers. His ankle may have…read more

  • Wraps up fifth season

    McKinney had four tackles in Sunday's 51-31 playoff loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McKinney finished up his fifth season, one in which he recorded 101 tackles, the third time he's eclipsed the century mark. He also had one sack, a forced fumble and recovered two fumbles in 14 games. As the defensive play caller, McKinney is an important piece on a defense that was exposed badly by the Chiefs. There's another four years remaining on his contract.

    McKinney doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's divisional matchup against Tennessee.

    Analysis: McKinney logged a trio of full practices during the week while managing a concussion, but as evidenced by this news, has cleared the league's concussion protocol. He's expected to handle his usual role as starting inside linebacker for the contest.

  • Won't suit up Week 16

    McKinney (concussion) is ruled out of Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: McKinney was unable to get on the practice field this week and remains in the concussion protocol. If Brennan Scarlett (Achilles/shouler) is active, he is likely to see an uptick in snaps in the 27-year-old's stead.

  • Suffers concussion

    McKinney sustained a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: McKinney posted nine tackles and 0.5 sacks before leaving the contest. The 27-year-old linebacker will be on a slightly shortened practice week with the team playing Tampa Bay on Saturday, and he'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol before suiting up. If he can't go, either Peter Kalambayi or Tyrell Adams is in line to start.

    McKinney recorded eight tackles, including one for a loss, in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

    Analysis: Through 10 games, McKinney has recorded 68 tackles and appears well on his way to a third season with 100-plus tackles. The 27-year-old linebacker remains without an interception, but McKinney does have a pair of fumble recoveries in 2019. His value in IDP formats continues to be heavily reliant on tackles.
