Takk McKinley out for remainder of season
The Cleveland Browns defensive end will miss the remainder of the season due to injury.
At the time the injury Takk McKinley had looked bad an early speculation was that Browns defensive end suffered a torn Achilles. That speculation has been confirmed as McKinley did in fact tear his Achilles and will miss the final portion of Cleveland’s schedule.
I'm told #Browns DE Takk McKinley is in fact done for the season with a torn Achilles, per league source.

The injury came during Cleveland’s 16-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders Monday.
Takk McKinley was playing in a rotational role for Cleveland and was able to occasionally contribute. McKinley will finish the 2021 season with 2.5 sacks, eight quarterback hits, and four quarterback knockdowns while playing just 43% of defensive snaps.
