News

  • Finds new home quickly

    Kennard (hamstring) agreed Wednesday with Arizona on a three-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Kennard was cut by the Lions on Tuesday and reached an agreement with the Cardinals one day later. The 28-year-old isn't dominant at any specific facet of playing defense but he's shown the versatility to line up as an edge rusher or an off-ball linebacker, and he's capable of defending the run, pressuring quarterbacks or dropping into coverage. Kennard could play inside linebacker, outside linebacker or both in a 3-4 scheme under Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. A hamstring injury…read more

  • Cut by Detroit

    The Lions released Kennard (hamstring) on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Kennard is coming off back-to-back seven-sack seasons in Detroit, where he displayed competence as a pass rusher, run defender and cover man. However, he wasn't necessarily great at any of those tasks, and the Lions are now signing a similarly versatile (and flashier) player in Jamie Collins. It shouldn't take Kennard too long to find a new home, assuming his hamstring injury from Week 17 isn't serious.

  • Won't return Week 17

    Kennard (hamstring) will not return to Sunday's contest against the Packers.

    Analysis: Kennard concludes the 2019 season with 58 tackles (45 solo) and seven sacks across 16 contests. He also forced recovered two fumbles, one of which was forced and one of which he returned for a score.

  • Exits with hamstring injury

    Kennard exited Sunday's game against the Packers with a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: Kennard shook off a shoulder injury to suit up for Sunday's game, but it appears his day could be over. The 28-year-old outside linebacker didn't record a tackle before departing. If he's unable to return, Kennard will finish the year with 58 tackles and seven sacks, with the latter tying his career high.

  • Ready for Sunday

    Kennard (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game versus Green Bay.

    Analysis: Kennard received the questionable tag despite putting in a full practice session Friday, so it's no surprise he's good to go Week 17. The 28-year-old should work in his typical starting role against the Packers.

  • Status for Week 17 uncertain

    Kennard (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup versus the Packers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: After logging two limited practice sessions, Kennard was a full participant Friday, suggesting he's likely to suit up Week 17. If he's forced to miss the final game of the regular season, however, look for Anthony Pittman to draw the start at one of the outside linebacker positions.

  • Limited in practice Thursday

    Kennard (shoulder) put in a limited practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Kennard entered Week 16 wearing the questionable tag with a hamstring issue but emerged with a shoulder injury. Nevertheless, he's logged two limited practices this week. If the 28-year-old is forced to miss Sunday's game against the Packers, Jahlani Tavai would stand to see more snaps.

  • Ready to face Broncos

    Kennard (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Kennard is having a solid campaign, as his 53 tackles are just eight shy of a career high, and his seven sacks are already tied for a career best. The sixth-year linebacker will continue filling a starting outside linebacker role.

  • Dons questionable tag

    Kennard (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Kennard wasn't able to practice until Friday and was limited while doing so. Jahlani Tavai and Jalen Reeves-Maybin should continue to get extra playing time.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Kennard (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Kennard suffered a hamstring injury in the second half of last Sunday's game versus the Buccanneers and did not return. He recorded four tackles (two solo) and a sack in the loss to Tampa Bay. If Kennard continues to be held out of practice, don't expect him to be on the field Sunday when the Lions visit Denver.

  • Dealing with hamstring injury

    Kennard left Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: Kennard suffered the injury during the second half and won't be able to return. Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Jason Cabinda may see increased defensive snaps for the Lions.

  • Forces fumble in loss

    Kennard registered two solo tackles, one sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Redskins.

    Analysis: Kennard extended his sack streak to three games Sunday, but he forced his first fumble of the season as well. The starting outside linebacker has not recorded more than two tackles in a contest since Week 9, however.

  • Notches fifth sack of the season

    Kennard registered two tackles and one sack during Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Detroit is finally starting to see some more payoff from an expensive investment in Kennard, who's now gotten to the quarterback in back-to-back games after failing to do so in his seven previous outings. The USC product now has 37 tackles and five sacks through 10 games.

  • Season high in tackles

    Kennard racked up seven tackles and returned a fumble for a touchdown during Detroit's 31-26 victory over the Giants.

    Analysis: Kennard has been exposed in run coverage a little bit this year and he's yet to log a sack since racking up three of them in the season opener against a poor Cardinals offensive line. Considering his seven tackles also topped his previous season high by two, it's hard to get behind Kennard as an IDP option despite the fact he was able to scoop and score against his former team Sunday.

  • Three sacks in opener

    Kennard recorded four tackles, all solo, and three sacks across 81 defensive snaps in Sunday's tie with the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Fellow linebacker Jarrad Davis was sidelined for Sunday's opener with a high-ankle sprain, which forced Kennard to take over the play-calling responsibilities. The veteran played in 81 percent of the defensive snaps and made an impact, as he took down Kyler Murray on three separate occasions.

  • Three sacks against Cardinals new offense

    Kennard generated four tackles and three sacks during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Cardinals.

    Analysis: This is the kind of production the Lions were hoping for when they inked Kennard to a three-year contract prior to the 2018 season. While we have to keep in mind that this came against the worst offensive line in the league during Kyler Murray's first regular-season game, it's also true that Kennard has an intimidating defensive line before him that should pave clean paths to the quarterback on a regular basis.

  • New career high in sacks

    Kennard produced 46 tackles and seven sacks over 15 games for the Lions in 2018.

    Analysis: Outside of slapping the franchise tag on defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder), Kennard was Detroit's biggest free-agent splash of the offseason on defense. Kennard almost exclusively was used as a pass rusher in his first year with the Lions and consequently collected a career high in sacks, though he only notched two in his final 10 games after piling up five in the first five games. Under contract for another two seasons, Kennard will look to improve his consistency in 2019 for a team that…read more

  • Ready to rock Sunday

    Kennard (hip) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kennard participated in practice all week in a limited fashion. He'll return to his starting role at outside linebacker and will be tasked with slowing down Vikings running back Dalvin Cook while blitzing quarterback Kirk Cousins, who has been sacked 34 times in 14 games.

  • Officially considered questionable

    Kennard (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Kennard was limited in practice all week, making his status for Week 16's divisional tilt truly murky. If the starting linebacker were to miss any time, Eli Harold would benefit from increased defensive snaps.

  • Sack in loss

    Kennard recorded four tackles (two solo) and a sack across 68 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: After missing the prior contest due to a hip injury, Kennard returned to action in Buffalo and didn't miss a beat. He recorded his seventh sack of the season, which leads the Lions.

  • Set to play

    Kennard (hip) is active for Sunday's tilt against the Bills.

  • Won't play Week 14

    Kennard (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game at Arizona, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Kennard will miss his first game of the season after suffering the hip injury last week against the Rams. Eli Harold should see a heavier workload at linebacker for the Lions in his absence.

  • Earns questionable tag

    Kennard (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Kennard suffered the hip injury last week against the Rams and was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday. Eli Harold would be called upon for a greater defensive role if Kennard is unable to play at Arizona.

  • Not practicing to begin week

    Kennard (hip) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Kennard suffered a hip injury during Sunday's loss to the Rams. If Kennard is unable to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 14, Eli Harold will once again slot into the starting lineup.

  • Suffers hip injury

    Kennard is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to a hip injury, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Eli Harold will draw the start at left inside linebacker as long as Kennard remains sidelined.

  • Finds sixth sack of season

    Kennard tallied four tackles and a sack during Sunday's 20-19 victory over Carolina.

    Analysis: On pace for 56 tackles and almost 10 sacks, Kennard continues to make the Lions look good for handing the linebacker a three-year, $17 million contract over the offseason. With defensive end Ziggy Ansah healthy and middle linebacker Jarrad Davis also showing progress in the pass-rush department, the Detroit defense -- which now sits ninth in the league with 28 sacks -- should have no problem continuing to cause problems for opposing offenses down the stretch.
