Report: Texans Trade Pro Bowl LB Benardrick McKinney to Dolphins

The Houston Texans are trading Pro Bowl linebacker Benardrick McKinney to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for linebacker Shaq Lawson, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal will also reportedly include a swap of late-round picks.

McKninney, 28, made the Pro Bowl in 2018, totaling 105 tackles, seven pass deflections and one interception that season, but he played just four games last year due to a shoulder injury that required season-ending surgery.

McKinney had been named a Texans team captain for the 2020 season and had missed only five games before this season, becoming the third-fastest player in franchise history to reach 500 total tackles.
