Giants Designate S Xavier McKinney To Return From NFI List

Giants HC Brian Daboll announced that they have designated S Xavier McKinney to return from the non-football injury list, per Pat Leonard. 

This opens McKinney’s 21-day window to practice before being activated. 

McKinney landed on the NFI list back in November after suffering a hand injury while riding ATVs in Cabo during their bye week.  

McKinney, 24, is a former second-round pick of the Giants back in 2020. He’s currently in the third year of his four-year, $8,391,049 rookie contract that includes a $3,662,581 signing bonus. 

In 2022, McKinney has appeared in eight games for the Giants and recorded 38 tackles, a forced fumble, a sack and four pass defenses.
