Takk McKinley News
The Cowboys announced the release of defensive end Takk McKinley on Friday. The 27-year-old was selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft by Atlanta, where he played most of his career and totaled 19.5 sacks. He then spent time with the Brown and Rams before landing on Dallas' practice squad in November 2022. However, he hasn't contributed much since leaving Atlanta. At any rate, McKinley will likely garner interest from other teams around the National Football League. But unless he turns things around from a production standpoint, he offers nothing to IDP managers.
The Tennessee Titans have signed defensive end Takkarist McKinley to their practice squad while promoting defensive back Chris Jackson to their active roster. This move comes after a Week 1 loss to the New York Giants in which the Titans allowed 238 rushing yards with their Pro Bowl edge rusher Harold Landry (knee) on injured reserve. McKinley, who was a first-round NFL Draft selection in 2017, has unfortunately struggled to stay on the field and ruptured his Achilles late in the 2021 season as a member of the Cleveland Browns. He did appear to be healthy on the practice field with the Titans on Friday, though, and the team hopes to eventually replace some of Landry's production with this low-risk move.
Cleveland Browns pass-rusher Takk McKinley (Achilles) suffered a ruptured Achilles in Monday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and will miss the rest of the season. In other injury news on defense, defensive end Myles Garrett (groin) is awaiting results after injuring his groin in Week 15, and safety John Johnson is day-to-day with a hamstring injury. McKinley, a former first-round pick in 2017, had only 2.5 sacks in 11 games, but he had been a consistent source of pressure and will be missed as the Browns try to make the postseason in the final three weeks. Garrett is one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL and has 15 sacks, 31 solo tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 28 QB hits, so the Browns defense cannot afford to lose him when they basically need to win out.
