News

  • 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.

  • Ready to rock

    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.

  • Practices again Thursday

    McKinney (concussion) was a full participant for Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: McKinney, who was a full participant for the second straight day, is progressing toward being available for the Texans' regular season finale at home against the Titans. The linebacker suffered a concussion Week 15 and did not practice or play Week 16.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    McKinney (concussion) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: McKinney, who missed last week's game against Tampa Bay, ranks second on the team with 101 tackles.

  • 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.

  • Totals seven tackles

    McKinney had seven tackles (one solo) during Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: McKinney now has at least seven stops in each of the past four contests coming out of the Week 10 bye. The 27-year-old has 93 tackles (49 solo), a half-sack, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries through 13 games.

    McKinney recorded 11 tackles (six solo) during Thursday's 20-17 win over the Colts.

  • Collects eight tackles

    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.

  • Makes big play in win

    McKinney had four tackles and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McKinney showed athleticism and hustle late in the first half when he dove between two Kansas City offensive linemen to wrestle a fumble recovery, which put the Texans' offense in business at the Chiefs' 3-yard line. One play later, Deshaun Watson scored a touchdown to put Houston on top at the break. The four tackles were a season low for McKinney, but the entire defense had subdued tackle numbers. That's because Kansas City ran just 46 offensive plays -- 30 that required tackles -- as Houston…read more

  • Tackling machine

    McKinney made nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: McKinney followed up his 12-tackle performance in Week 4 with a similarly impressive outing. This provides a solid floor for IDP purposes, although he only has 0.5 sacks and one pass breakup this season, so the ceiling is definitely capped.

    McKinney recorded 12 tackles, one pass defensed and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Panthers in Week 4.

  • Notches seven tackles in win

    McKinney recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 13-12 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: McKinney now has 13 tackles (nine solo) in two games, along with one forced fumble. The fifth-year linebacker is a low-ceiling, high-floor option in IDP formats due to his reliability accumulating tackles.

  • Tallies 105 tackles in 2018

    McKinney recorded 105 tackles (63 solo, 1.5 sacks) and seven passes defensed -- including an interception -- while playing in 16 games this season.

    Analysis: McKinney eclipsed the 100-tackle mark for the second time in his four-year career this season as he's continued to be a quality linebacker for Houston. He improved in pass coverage, with his seven passes defensed more than doubling the three he'd compiled in the three seasons prior.

  • Clear of foot injury

    McKinney (foot) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: McKinney was added to the injury report Wednesday with the foot issue, but he was able to practice fully Friday to avoid the questionable tag. The 26-year-old should serve in his usual starting role at inside linebacker in the regular-season finale.

  • Limited participant Wednesday

    McKinney (foot) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Houston's defensive signal-caller has 100 combined tackles (60 solo) and a career-best six passes defensed through 15 games.

  • Notches interception in win

    McKinney recorded four tackles (two solo) and two passes defensed, including an interception, in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: McKinney's interception was the first of his career. He's been a quality cover man this season, totaling six passes defensed to go along with his interception after recording just three passes defensed in his first three seasons. Through 15 games, he has 100 tackles (60 solo), including 1.5 sacks. McKinney and the Texans will face off against the Jaguars in Week 17.
