Packers' Xavier McKinney: Restructuring contract
McKinney's $4.25 million salary will be converted to a bonus for 2026, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
The Packers are restructuring McKinney's contract to free up cap space. McKinney is entering the third year of a four-year, $67 million contract he signed with Green Bay in March of 2024. He has compiled 10 interceptions and 195 tackles in his first two regular seasons with the Packers as one of the NFL's best safeties.

Packers' Xavier McKinney: Reaches tackling century mark
McKinney finished the 2025 regular season with 107 tackles (54 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass defenses (two interceptions) and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025.
McKinney reached 100-plus tackles for the second time in his six-year career, with both instances coming over the last three seasons. He also reached double-digit pass defenses for a third consecutive season (and fourth time for his NFL career), though his two interceptions were far less than the eight he accrued during the 2024 campaign. McKinney signed a four-year, $67 million contract with the Packers in March 2024, so the Alabama product is under contract with Green Bay through 2027.

Packers' Xavier McKinney: Idle for Week 18
McKinney (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
McKinney will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's regular-season finale, seeing as the Packers cannot improve from the No. 7 seed in the NFC for the postseason. Kitan Oladapo is poised to start at safety alongside Evan Williams for Week 18. McKinney will end the 2025 regular season with 107 tackles (54 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass defenses (two interceptions) and one forced fumble over 16 games.

Packers' Xavier McKinney: Matches career high with 13 tackles
McKinney finished Saturday's 41-24 loss to Baltimore with 13 tackles (six solo).
McKinney was one of three Packers defenders to play every single snap, and he finished the contest with a game-high 13 tackles, matching his career high that he logged in Week 11 of the 2023 season as a member of the Giants. McKinney is up to 107 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, marking the second time in his six-year NFL career that he has reached 100-plus tackles in a season. With the Packers locked in as the NFC's seventh seed heading into the postseason, McKinney and the rest of the Packers starters could be rested or operate on a snap count against the Vikings in Week 18.

Packers' Xavier McKinney: Tallies seven tackles in win
McKinney recorded seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 28-21 win versus the Bears.
McKinney played all 68 of Green Bay's defensive snaps in Week 14, and he racked up seven-plus tackles for the sixth time this season. He's still on pace to surpass 100 tackles for the second time in his career, but he might spend more time in coverage in a Week 15 matchup at Denver.

Packers' Xavier McKinney: Makes six stops
McKinney recorded six tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
McKinney remains one of the most important players in the Packers' defense, as he's been on the field for every defensive snap this season. His six tackles were an average performance by his standard, albeit his highest total since Week 10.

Packers' Xavier McKinney: Quiet in victory
McKinney recorded three tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
McKinney matched his season-low in total stops and his lowest solo tackle total of the year. He's played 100 percent of defensive snaps in every game this season, so he should bounce back in Thursday's Week 13 matchup against the Lions.

Packers' Xavier McKinney: Productive in win
McKinney totaled five tackles (two solo) and a pass defended in Green Bay's win over the Giants on Sunday.
McKinney had a solid outing versus his former team, as he played every defensive snap in addition to recording at least five tackles for an eighth straight game. The 2020 second-round pick will look to match this level of production in the team's Week 12 matchup versus the Vikings.
