Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Back in action Sunday
McKinstry (ankle) returned to Sunday's training camp practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
McKinstry left Thursday's practice early after tweaking his ankle, though it was a precautionary move by the Saints. The third-year cornerback was back on the field Sunday, though he did not participate in the final team drill of practice. Still, it appears McKinstry is past the injury and should be an active participant in practices moving forward.

Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Performs well as CB1 in 2025
McKinstry finished the 2025 season with 76 tackles (59 solo) and 17 passes defended, including three interceptions, across 17 games.
McKinstry finished tied for sixth in the NFL in passes defended during his first season as the Saints' No. 1 cornerback. The 2024 second-rounder also improved his consistency as a tackler while playing over 400 more defensive snaps than he did as a rookie. McKinstry should set himself up for a solid payday if he performs at a similar level in 2026.

Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Picks off two passes in Week 5

Both of his pickoffs came in the fourth quarter -- the first came on a deep pass that McKinstry grabbed as his own five-yard line, and the second (on New York's next drive) took place on a short pass at the Giants' 45-yard line. The interceptions were the first two of McKinstry's NFL career.
