The Jets released McKinley on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McKinley's time in New York comes to a close as the team activates Haason Reddick to the active roster. The veteran defensive lineman will try to latch on in a depth capacity elsewhere in the league.

The Jets signed McKinley on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 2017 first-round pick out of UCLA has struggled to find his place in the NFL, but he's been given a new opportunity by the Jets. McKinley most recently played for the Rams in 2022, recording just one total tackle across four contests (23 total snaps). Now that McKinley has inked a deal with New York, he'll likely be competing for a depth role on the Jets' defensive line as the offseason progresses.

McKinley was released by the Cowboys on Friday, Dallas writer Patrik Walker reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKinley signed a one-year deal with Dallas in March, but he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere ahead of the 2023 campaign. The linebacker appeared in four games with the Rams last season, recording one tackle while playing 21 snaps between the defensive unit and special teams.

McKinley signed a one-year deal with Dallas on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKinley was cut by the Rams in mid-October last year and signed a practice-squad deal with Dallas a month later. He didn't make any appearances for the Cowboys, but it appears he impressed in practice and will get a chance to carve out a role in 2023. The 2017 first-round pick recorded 16.5 sacks over his first three seasons in Atlanta, but he has just 3.5 across the past three campaigns.

McKinley was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After being cut by the Rams on Oct. 18, McKinley will get another shot this season, joining Dallas on Wednesday. The linebacker appeared in four games with Los Angeles earlier this season, recording one tackle while playing 16 total defensive snaps.

The Rams released McKinley on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles signed McKinley to their active roster from the Titans' practice squad in September, but he'll now search elsewhere for snaps after he was released Tuesday. Across the Rams' last four contests, the 26-year-old linebacker totaled 16 defensive snaps and just one tackle in that stretch.

The Rams signed McKinley to their active roster off Tennessee's practice squad Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKinley appeared in 11 games for the Browns last year before tearing his Achilles in December. After returning to full strength, he worked out for a few teams this offseason but could only garner a practice-squad deal from the Titans. However, the former first-round pick will now get an opportunity to carve out a reserve role with the defending champions.

The Cowboys hosted McKinley (Achilles) for a tryout Saturday, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKinley's 2021 campaign with the Browns ended back in December due to a torn Achilles, so it's encouraging to see him already working out. Team owner/GM Jerry Jones said he "had a good visit with [McKinley]," and noted that the defensive end has "a chance to play this year." Jones said that a contract was discussed, but no agreement with McKinley has been reached.

McKinley (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

McKinley suffered a torn left Achilles during Monday's win over the Raiders, so it was only a matter of time before he landed on injured reserve. The 26-year-old's recovery could carry over into the 2022 campaign.

McKinley has suffered a torn left Achilles and is out for the season, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKinley will no doubt be officially placed on IR in the near future and undergo surgery to address his injury. The timing of McKinley's Achilles tear is brutal, and there's no guarantee he'll be ready for either offseason activities or the start of the 2022 season. He wraps up the 2021 campaign with 18 tackles (10 solo), 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble across 11 appearances.
