  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Exits with injury Sunday

    McKinstry sustained a neck injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    McKinstry logged six tackles before exiting late in the second half Sunday. The rookie second-round pick has moved up into a starting role since cornerback Marshon Lattimore was sent to the Commanders at the trade deadline. With McKinstry sidelined, expect Shemar Jean-Charles to step up apposite starting cornerback Alontae Taylor.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Good to go against Cleveland

    McKinstry (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    McKinstry finished the week strong with back-to-back full practices, and he will return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The rookie second-round pick should see a significant uptick in defensive snaps after Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) was traded to the Commanders at the trade deadline Nov. 5.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Questionable vs. Browns

    McKinstry (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

    Despite logging consecutive full practices to end the week, McKinstry will still draw the questionable tag after missing the Saints' last two games due to a hamstring injury. If McKinstry is able to return Sunday, he would reclaim his starting spot at corner alongside Alontae Taylor; otherwise, Shemar Jean-Charles would draw the start for a third straight game.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Past hamstring injury

    McKinstry (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.

    McKinstry returned to practice Wednesday after missing the Saints' last two games due to a hamstring injury. He appears to be on track to play Sunday against the Browns, however, after he was able to practice Thursday without limitations. In the eight games prior to his injury, McKinstry logged 18 tackles (14 solo) and three pass defenses.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Begins week with limited work

    McKinstry (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    McKinstry had logged five consecutive DNPs before Wednesday's limited session, which suggests he could be nearing a return to the field. The 2024 second-round pick's participation in practice both Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in the Saints' Week 11 matchup against the Browns.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Missing another week

    McKinstry (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

    The rookie corner from Alabama was unable to practice all week after missing the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise he won't suit up in Week 10. Shemar Jean-Charles is expected to start opposite Rico Payton (back) as part of the Saints' top outside cornerback duo in McKinstry's stead.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Opens week as DNP

    McKinstry (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

    McKinstry was sidelined for the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers after likely aggravating his hamstring injury in practice, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing more time. The 2024 second-round pick likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 10, when the Saints host the Falcons.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Ruled out for Sunday

    Head coach Dennis Allens said Friday that McKinstry (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    McKinstry appears to have worsened his hamstring issue in practice this week, as he recorded a limited session Wednesday then downgraded to DNPs both Thursday and Friday. With each of the Saints' top two outside cornerbacks, McKinstry and Marshon Lattimore (hamstring), sidelined in Week 9, Rico Payton (back) and Ugo Amadi could see increased work with New Orleans' first-team defense.
