What It Means:

McKelvin fractured his ankle last November, so this will put his recovery out to almost a year from that injury. He had a setback earlier this summer, and the team is hoping the additional time will allow him to get back up to speed.

Second-round pick Ronald Darby has been looking impressive in preseason action, and he will step into McKelvin's shoes opposite Stephon Gilmore. Darby was originally projected at 62 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 10 passes defensed, but a large portion of that may go Darby's way now. Passing attacks love to pick on rookie cornerbacks, and Darby's IDP numbers may thrive if they challenge him.
