Signed a four-year, $67 million contract with the Packers in March of 2024.
Expected back for Week 1
Packers GM Brian Guteknust said Tuesday that McKinney (calf) is "absolutely" expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Lions on Sept. 7, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Packers have no reason to push McKinney ahead of the regular season after he suffered a calf injury during training camp. McKinney had a breakout season in 2024, his first with Green Bay, finishing with 88 tackle (60 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 11 pass breakups, including a career-high eight interceptions, and one fumble recovery. He was selected to his first Pro Bowl and was named a first-team All-Pro at safety.

2020
McKinney has had an up and down career, as he missed a total of 18 games during the four years of his rookie contract with the Giants. He picked the right year to get healthy and posted the most productive season of his career in 2023, which he parlayed into a four-year, $68 million contract with the Packers this offseason. Based on both the value of that contract and his experience relative to the rest of the secondary, McKinney will instantly be asked to emerge as a leader of the unit alongside Jaire Alexander. In each of his two fully healthy seasons in the NFL, McKinney has posted over 90 tackles, 10 passes defensed and three interceptions. If he can replicate those marks in his first year with Green Bay, he'll establish himself as one of the best defensive backs in IDP formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ranked high on end-of-season list
McKinney is ranked as the No. 4 most impactful free-agent addition of 2024 by Bucky Brooks of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
McKinney inked a four-year, $67 million dollar deal with the Packers last offseason after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Giants. The 2020 second-round pick enjoyed a breakout campaign in terms of ball hawking during his first year in Green Bay, picking off a career-high eight passes while tying a personal best with 11 breakups overall. McKinney earned first-team All-Pro honors in the process, and as Brooks points out, the talented safety is in the midst of his prime at just 26 years old.
