Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Dealing with hamstring injury
Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.McKinstry got his second start of the season in Week 8 against the Broncos, during which he registered five tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup. The rookie second-round pick is set to see more snaps with the first-team defense following the season-ending injury to Paulson Adebo (lower leg).
