Top Kool-Aid McKinstry News

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Becomes starter as rookie

    McKinstry recorded 42 tackles (32 solo) and six pass breakups across 15 games during the 2024 season.

    Both Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) and Paulson Adebo (upper leg) missed large chunks of the season due to injury -- and the former was also traded to the Commanders at the deadline -- so McKinstry was forced to step up as a starter for a good portion of 2024, including all of New Orleans' last seven games. He wasn't picked on too often despite his inexperience, but he did surrender some explosive plays. With Lattimore now in Washington and Adebo set to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, McKinstry should have a clear path to a starting role right from 2025.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Full practice participant Thursday

    McKinstry (neck/shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    McKinstry was knocked out of the Saints' Week 15 loss to the Commanders due to a neck injury, and he finished the game with six tackles (four solo). It doesn't appear to be a lasting issue, as he was able to practice without limitations in New Orleans' first official session of the week Thursday. Barring any setbacks, McKinstry should be able to suit up against Green Bay on Monday. The rookie second-round pick has logged 33 tackles (26 solo) and five pass defenses across 12 regular-season games.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Exits with injury Sunday

    McKinstry sustained a neck injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    McKinstry logged six tackles before exiting late in the second half Sunday. The rookie second-round pick has moved up into a starting role since cornerback Marshon Lattimore was sent to the Commanders at the trade deadline. With McKinstry sidelined, expect Shemar Jean-Charles to step up apposite starting cornerback Alontae Taylor.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Good to go against Cleveland

    McKinstry (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    McKinstry finished the week strong with back-to-back full practices, and he will return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The rookie second-round pick should see a significant uptick in defensive snaps after Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) was traded to the Commanders at the trade deadline Nov. 5.
