Takk McKinley Sticking With Raiders Defense
4 years agoThe Las Vegas Raiders placed former Falcons first-rounder Takk McKinley (groin) on Injured Reserve on Friday, so they will hang onto him instead of waiving him after he failed physicals with the Bengals and 49ers previously. It's been another long and disappointing season for the pass-rusher from UCLA, as he was cut by Atlanta after making a social-media scene because he wasn't dealt at the trading deadline. For now, the 25-year-old will just give the Raiders some intriguing pass-rush depth while he gets back to 100 percent health. McKinley played in only four games for the Falcons this year and has an underwhelming 79 total tackles and 17.5 sacks in 49 games played in his first four years in the NFL.
