Sean McKeon - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Reaches injury settlement with Indy The Colts released McKeon (undisclosed) from IR with an injury settlement Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact McKeon signed with Indianapolis on a reserve/future contract in early January but suffered an injury that led to him being placed on season-ending injured reserve Aug. 6. However, the negotiation of an injury settlement means McKeon will be able to find a new organization and potentially play in 2026 once healthy. The 28-year-old saw action in one regular-season game with the Colts last year, finishing with no targets or touches on eight offensive snaps.

Placed on injured reserve The Colts placed McKeon (undisclosed) on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact McKeon signed a reserve/future deal with the Colts in January. The tight end's undisclosed issue will result in him missing the entirety of the 2026 season. McKeon played in one game for the Colts last season, logging eight offensive snaps and six special teams snaps. In a corresponding move, the Colts signed tight end Pharaoh Brown.

Inks deal with Colts The Colts signed McKeon to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Impact McKeon was elevated to the Colts' active roster in Week 18, where he played seven snaps on offense and eight on special teams, but the 28-year-old did not obtain any stats. McKeon will have the opportunity to participate in the Colts' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

Elevated to active roster The Colts elevated McKeon from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact McKeon signed with the Colts' practice squad in August. He will now be active for the first time in Week 18 against the Texans. With Will Mallory and Drew Ogletree ruled out for the season finale, McKeon will likely play in the No. 3 tight end spot behind Tyler Warren and Mo Alie-Cox.

Gets spot on practice squad McKeon signed with the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact The tight end was released Tuesday after falling short of the 53-man roster, and after clearing waivers, he finds himself in the same spot where he spent the entire 2024 season: on the Colts' practice squad. McKeon last saw NFL regular-season action in 2023 with Dallas, and he last caught a pass in a regular-season game the year before that, also with Dallas.

AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cut by Indianapolis The Colts released McKeon on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.

Impact McKeon inked a futures deal with the Colts in January after spending the entire 2024 season on the team's practice squad. He finished the preseason with two catches on as many targets for eight yards across two games, but his performance throughout training camp wasn't enough for him to crack the 53-man roster. McKeon will likely clear waivers, at which point he could remain in Indianapolis by joining the Colts' practice squad for a second consecutive year.

AUGUST 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inks futures deal The Colts signed McKeon to a reserve/futures contract on Monday.

Impact McKeon will get a chance to continue his development with Indianapolis. The depth tight end didn't suit up for a regular-season game with the Colts in 2024, though he spent the entire year on the team's practice squad.

Finds work in Indy The Colts signed McKeon to their practice squad Thursday.

Impact McKeon failed to catch on with the Lions before signing with the Colts' practice squad Thursday. He appeared in nine regular-season games with the Cowboys last season, failing to haul in either of his two targets while playing 234 total snaps (94 offensive and 140 on special teams).

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Lions McKeon was released by Detroit on Tuesday.

Impact McKeon played in nine regular-season games for the Cowboys last year but ended the campaign on IR due to an ankle injury. He signed a contract with the Lions in May and caught both his targets for 19 yards during the exhibition slate, but he didn't make the cut for the 53-man roster. Sam LaPorta (hamstring), Brock Wright and Parker Hesse will serve as Detroit's tight ends to open the campaign.

Joining up with active roster Dallas signed McKeon from its practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Chicago, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact McKeon had already been brought up with his three allowed standard elevations, and with regular starting tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) still struggling with a PCL sprain, the Cowboys saw fit to promote McKeon for good. He has one reception for 10 yards on one target through three games in 2022.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad McKeon reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact McKeon was elevated for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's 24-6 win over the Lions. However, the third-year tight end saw his lowest offensive usage of the year, playing 16 of his 18 snaps on special teams against Detroit. McKeon has now recorded one reception (on one target) for 10 yards in 2022, and he will require a full spot on the active roster in order to suit up for Dallas again this season.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from practice squad again Dallas elevated McKeon to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Commanders.

Impact This is the third elevation of the season for McKeon, who was also active in Weeks 3 and 6. He has logged 20 total offensive snaps on the campaign, catching his only target for 10 yards. Since he's now been elevated three times, he'll need to be signed to the 53-man roster the next time the Cowboys desire his services for gameday.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad McKeon reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact McKeon was elevated to Dallas' active roster for the second game in a row, as tight end Dalton Schultz was still unable to suit up while dealing with a lingering PCL sprain. As a result, the 24-year-old hauled in his lone target for 10 yards while playing nine of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps behind Peyton Hendershot and Jake Ferguson. McKeon also appeared on seven special-teams snaps, and he is now eligible for just one more elevation from Dallas' practice squad this season.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from practice squad The Cowboys elevated McKeon from the practice squad Saturday.

Impact The addition of McKeon gives Dallas a fourth option at tight end behind Dalton Schultz, Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot ahead of Sunday's game in Philadelphia. It's unclear if McKeon will be active for the contest.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to practice squad McKeon reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact McKeon received the bump to the active roster with Dalton Schultz (knee) unable to play. He saw 11 snaps on offense and nine on special teams, but he failed to tally any stats. Depending on Schultz' status for Week 4 against Washington, McKeon may be called upon again.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 3 McKeon (ankle) has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact McKeon's elevation suggests that he has recovered from the ankle injury that began bothering him in August. He'll provide depth at tight end for the Cowboys, who are expected to be without Dalton Schultz (knee).

Opportunity for bigger role McKeon participated in workouts with Dak Prescott and other key members of the Cowboys offense earlier this month, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Top tight end Dalton Schultz was part of the group, as were CeeDee Lamb, Ezekiel Elliott and 2022 third-round pick Jalen Tolbert, which makes the inclusion of a depth TE like McKeon stand out. Heading into his third NFL season, the undrafted player out of Michigan has seen most of his action on special teams so far, but with Blake Jarwin no long on the Dallas roster, McKeon has a chance to win a much more significant role on offense. His main competition for the No. 2 spot behind Schultz will likely come from rookie Jake Ferguson, a fourth-round pick in this year's draft.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first career TD in 2021 McKeon caught four of six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown across nine games this season.

Impact He missed the first eight weeks of the season due to an ankle injury, but McKeon found a role as a blocker and depth tight end upon his return, and he scored his first career TD on Thanksgiving against the Raiders. The undrafted player has one more year remaining on his current contract, and he could see a larger role in 2022 if Dalton Schultz leaves in free agency.

Fully participates in practice McKeon (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact McKeon was unavailable for last Sunday's game against Washington due to a neck injury, but it doesn't appear as though he'll be limited ahead of Week 15. Across his last five appearances, he's hauled in four of six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown.

DECEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with neck injury McKeon is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington due to a neck injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact McKeon was added to the Cowboys' injury report Thursday after he was limited in practice that day on account of the neck issue, but he didn't carry a designation into the weekend after practicing fully Friday. Evidently, the tight end suffered some sort of setback after Friday's practice, resulting in him being inactive for the first time since being activated from injured reserve Week 9. With McKeon out, Jeremy Sprinkle is expected to serve as the No. 2 tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.
