Xavier McKinney talks challenge of facing Steelers' DK Metcalf Green Bay Packers S Xavier McKinney spoke with the media following Friday's practice.
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.
Impact 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.

Picks up ankle injury McKinney (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Impact McKinney has not missed a defensive snap so far this season, but he appears to have hurt his ankle in this past Sunday's win over Arizona. The veteran safety may not be dealing with a major issue, though, since he was able to practice in a limited fashion to begin the week. If McKinney can return to full practice participation by the end of Friday, he should be fully cleared to suit up against the Steelers on Sunday.
