EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - New York Giants starting safety Xavier McKinney is expected to be available Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after five straight days of negative COVID-19 tests, a source told ESPN.
McKinney was on the reserve/COVID-19 list as a close contact. He is admittedly unvaccinated.
The Giants had seven players test positive for COVID-19 this week, including four defensive backs. That still leaves them shorthanded against a talented set of Cowboys receivers. Starting cornerback Adoree Jackson and nickel Aaron Robinson are out for Sunday.
They were hoping all along that McKinney would be available.
