From staff and wire reports

Kenny McKinley's second season with the Denver Broncos is over before it started.

The former South Carolina wide receiver was placed on injured reserve by the Broncos this week with a knee injury.

McKinley was primarily used on special teams last season. He played in eight games for the Broncos before injuring his knee on a kickoff late in the season.

McKinley was a fifth-round draft choice in 2009.

He holds USC records for single-season receptions (77), career receptions (207), career receiving yards (2,781) and consecutive games with a reception (43).
