The New York Giants finally added veteran linebacker Benardrick McKinney to their 53-man roster on Wednesday.
In his seventh NFL season, the 28-year-old McKinney has played in three games for the Giants. In two of those games, the Giants used a standard practice squad elevation to get McKinney on the field. In the third game, he was activated as a COVID-19 roster replacement.
In those three games, McKinney has played 60 defensive snaps and has nine tackles (five solo).
McKinney played his first six seasons with the Houston Texans, and has started 77 of the 83 regular-season games in which he’s played.
