• Isaiah McKenzie: Headed to South Beach

  12/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Dolphins signed McKenzie to the practice squad Tuesday. McKenzie signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March after playing with the Colts in 2023. The veteran wideout suffered multiple lower body injuries during the postseason and, after being placed on injured reserve, he was let go by the Giants in early September with an injury settlement. It appears McKenzie is fully healthy and will be available to be elevated to the Dolphins' active roster for the final three games of the regular season. The 2017 fifth-round pick played in 13 regular-season games for Indianapolis in 2023 and finished with 11 catches (on 14 targets) for 82 yards.

  The Giants and McKenzie (lower body) reached an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported. McKenzie was set to spend the 2024 season on injured reserve with the Giants after suffering a lower body injury in the preseason, but he'll now have a chance to return to the field with a new team. The wide receiver appeared in 13 contests with the Colts in 2023, racking up 11 catches for 82 yards while also compiling 356 total yards on kick and punt returns.

• Giants' Isaiah McKenzie: Placed on season-ending IR

  08/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Giants placed McKenzie (lower body) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. New York opted not to designate McKenzie for return, meaning his placement on injured reserve is season-ending, barring an injury settlement. The veteran wideout reportedly suffered a knee laceration and a right foot injury during the Giants' final preseason game. His absence for the 2024 season will open up opportunities in the return game for other players on New York's roster, especially if Gunner Olszewski (groin) doesn't return to full health in quick fashion.

  McKenzie suffered a right foot injury and also had a laceration on his knee following Saturday's 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. McKenzie recorded two receptions on two targets for 15 yards and was also the team's primary punt returner. The latter role is his potential path to a roster spot, as McKenzie tallied 204 punt return yards and 152 kick return yards in 2023. He's on the roster bubble and will now be set for an MRI in the coming days, another factor that could affect his status with the Giants.

  McKenzie and the Giants reached an agreement Tuesday on a one-year contract, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. The deal reunites him with Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who was the offensive coordinator in Buffalo from 2018 to 2021. McKenzie was the Bills' third or fourth WR for much of that time, though his receiving production peaked in 2022 (42-423-4) under OC Ken Dorsey and then crashed in 2023 (11-82-0) when the wideout left for Indianapolis. McKenzie turns 29 in April and may end up contributing more as a return man than a wide receiver in New York.
