McKinney tallied nine tackles, including 1.0 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble in Sunday's loss to Carolina.
Though the Packers suffered an upset loss, McKinney put together his best game of the campaign, leading Green Bay with a season-high nine stops. Among those were his first sack of the season -- a takedown of Bryce Young that also resulted in a fumble, though the Panthers were able to recover.

McKinney (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
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, during which he finished with eight tackles and a defensed pass. 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.
