Benardrick McKinney Will Be Active On Sunday
3 years agoThe New York Giants are elevating veteran linebacker Benardrick McKinney to their active game-day roster for Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. McKinney was just signed to the team's practice squad earlier this week, but he will already be making his team debut with linebacker Tae Crowder (thigh) being added to this week's injury report. The 28-year-old had been a free agent after getting cut by the Miami Dolphins during training camp, but he'll have a chance to help the Giants out, starting this weekend. Playing in just four games last year with the Houston Texans, McKinney had 37 tackles (19 solo) and one pass defensed. A Pro Bowler in 2018, don't expect McKinney to play all that many snaps in his team debut on Sunday.
