Giants' Xavier McKinney out 'a few weeks' after suffering bye week injury in Cabo

The third-year pro has started in all eight of the Giants' games this season and ranks third on the team in passes defended (four) and fourth in tackles (38). McKinney was selected by New York in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft and after being limited to six games (four starts) as a rookie due to a foot injury, he played in all 17 contests during the 2021 campaign, making 16 starts.

McKinney led the team in interceptions last season with five, one of which he returned for a touchdown.

The 23-year-old joins cornerback Cordale Flott as starting members of the secondary to be relegated to the bench. Flott has been out since suffering a calf injury in Week 3.
