McKinley, 24, signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame following the 2021 NFL Draft. He was waived coming out of the preseason however and re-signed to the practice squad.
McKinley bounced on and off the practice squad throughout the season. Detroit re-signed him to a futures deal for the 2022 season but elected to waive him back in May.
He has yet to appear in an NFL game.
