Kool-Aid McKinstry expected to play Week One after suffering preseason injury

New Orleans Saints cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry suffered an injury in a preseason game on Sunday, but it’s not too serious. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, McKinstry avoided a significant knee injury during the game, and the team believes he has a good chance to play in the season opener against the Carolina Panthers.

McKinstry suffered the knee injury early in the first quarter after he collided with San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor. He went to the medical tent before running on the sideline. The former Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback then headed to the locker room for further evaluation.

“He has a knee injury, I think we avoided anything serious,” Saints head coach Dennis Allen told reporters after the game on Sunday, per Saints Wire. Now, what kind of time we are looking at, I really have no idea. But I think we escaped the game, at least on initial report, without any major injuries.”

We’ll have more on this story shortly.
