Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Past foot issue
McKinstry (foot) participated in the Saints' first training camp practice Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The 2024 second-round pick out of Alabama has been nursing a foot injury for a couple of months now, but it appears that he's moved past the issue. McKinstry recorded 23 defensed passes across his three years at Alabama, and since he's fully healthy again, the rookie is expected to step in and serve as a rotational cornerback immediately in New Orleans.

Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Getting closer to return
McKinstry (foot) is nearing a return to health, and coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday "there's a chance" he could begin taking on-field reps at the Saints' mandatory minicamp, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.
McKinstry is recovering from surgery undergone to address a Jones fracture in his right foot, an injury discovered at the NFL Scouting Combine. Due to the surgery McKinstry has missed rookie minicamp and OTAs, but it appears he's nearing a return. Allen said "I don't think we'll see him in any team work next week" at mandatory minicamp, but that the rookie second-round pick could be "maybe working in some walkthroughs and individual type stuff."

Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Big Easy bound
The Saints selected McKinstry (foot) in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 41st overall.
If not for a foot injury that was discovered at the NFL Combine and prevented him from testing, McKinstry might have gone much earlier. He's a well-built boundary corner at 6-foot, 199 pounds with 32-inch arms, and he started 33 games in three years at Alabama. He broke up an impressive 16 passes as a sophomore, and though he only had two career picks, his coverage ability and his willingness in run support both stand out. McKinstry should challenge for boundary reps as a rookie provided his foot is back to 100 percent by camp.
