The Dolphins signed McKenzie to the practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Giants placed McKenzie (lower body) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 agreement Tuesday on a one-year contract,Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 he left for Indianapolis. McKenzie turns 29 in April and may end up contributing more as a return man than wide receiver in New York.

The Colts activated McKenzie from the reserve-suspended list Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie was suspended by Indianapolis on Dec. 19 for conduct detrimental to the team. He did not play in the final three games of the regular season and finished the year with 11 catches on 14 targets for 82 yards over 13 games.

The Colts placed McKenzie on their reserve/suspended list for the remainder of the season Tuesday for conduct detrimental to the team, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game versus the Steelers, and he'll now miss the rest of the year. D.J. Montgomery could see some more reps out of the slot in the meantime.

McKenzie is inactive for Saturday's game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

With McKenzie a healthy scratch Saturday, Michael Pittman, Josh Downs and Alec Pierce will lead the Colts' Week 15 WR corps, with D.J. Montgomery and Ethan Fernea in reserve. McKenzie, who last caught a pass in Week 10, has recorded an 11/82/0 receiving line on 14 targets through 13 contests this season.

McKenzie (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran wideout missed Wednesday's practice with a toe injury, but after practicing with no limitations Thursday, it seems as if he's been able to move past the issue. McKenzie has filled a limited offensive role in his first year with Indianapolis, catching 11 of his 14 targets for 82 yards and playing on 14 percent of the team's offensive snaps.

McKenzie (toe) was listed as a nonparticipant on the Colts' practice estimate Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie played just five offensive snaps during Sunday's win versus the Buccaneers, and that he may have been nursing a toe injury would be a reasonable explanation for his limited involvement. Indianapolis' injury reports Thursday and Friday will give a better idea of whether he'll be available in Week 13 at Tennessee.
