Bengals Waive Takkarist McKinley
4 years agoThe Cincinnati Bengals waived defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) on Tuesday due to a failed physical after claiming him off waivers from the Falcons last week. The former first-round pick hasn't played since Week 7 due to a groin injury that has kept him off the field for all but four games in 2020. McKinley was upset and voiced his displeasure on social media when Atlanta didn't trade him at the deadline. He's so far been a first-round bust, recording only 17.5 sacks in three-plus seasons for the Falcons. McKinley would have filled an area of need for Cincy on their defensive line, but now he'll need to find another team that's interested in his services.
