Packers' Xavier McKinney: Green light to play Week 8

McKinney (ankle/knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

McKinney tweaked his ankle and knee during the Packers' Week 7 win over the Cardinals. Those injuries limited his practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, but he faded an injury designation for Week 8 after practicing in full Friday. The sixth-year safety has opened the season with 36 tackles (16 solo) and three pass defenses (one interception) through six regular-season games.
