"During our bye week, I went away to Cabo," McKinney said. "While there, I joined a group for a guided sight-seeing tour on ATVs.
"Unfortunately, I had an accident and injured my hand. The injury will keep me sidelined for a few weeks. I will do everything I can to get back as quickly as possible so I can contribute to what we’re building here in NY."
