  McKinney recorded nine total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears. The first-year Packer posted a season-high nine stops in Sunday's narrow win, tying Carrington Valentine as Green Bay's leading tackler. McKinney has had a phenomenal start to his tenure in Green Bay, tallying 51 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and intercepting six passes while playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps through 10 games. He's expected to continue making plays as one of the NFL's top safeties when the Packers host the 49ers in Week 12.

  McKinney recorded six total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. McKinney continued his stretch of impressive play in Sunday's win, bringing his season totals up to 30 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and five interceptions across Green Bay's first seven games. The first-year Packer still leads the NFL in interceptions despite not having recorded a pick in either of his last two contests. With the emergence of 2024 fourth-round pick Evan Williams, the Packers' new and improved safety duo is shaping up to be one of the best in the league. Expect McKinney to continue making plays as Green Bay takes on the Jaguars in Week 8.

  10/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  McKinney recorded three total tackles (two solo) and defended two passes, including one interception, in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Rams. McKinney made history by intercepting Matthew Stafford in the third quarter of Sunday's win, becoming the first player since 1970 to record an interception in each of his first five games with a team. The Alabama product continues to prove why the Packers made him one of the highest-paid safeties in the NFL this past offseason, having now recorded 20 total tackles and six passes defended, including five interceptions, across 320 defensive snaps. McKinney will look to extend his interception streak in Week 6 when the Packers host the Cardinals.
