Questionable for Week 16
Kendricks (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Kendricks was able to log a limited practice Friday after back-to-back DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. The veteran linebacker previously dealt with a shoulder injury, so the calf is a new issue. Kendricks has started all 13 games he's appeared in this season, logging 124 tackles (63 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Damone Clark or Buddy Johnson would likely be next up for linebacker snaps if Kendricks can't play Sunday.

Nabs pick in win
Kendricks recorded five tackles (two solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-14 win at Carolina.
Analysis: Kendricks picked off a third-down pass intended for Adam Thielen in the second quarter, setting up a Cowboys field goal to go up 10-0. He also played all 50 of Dallas' defensive snaps Sunday, a big part of the reason he profiles as a plus IDP option for Week 16 versus the Buccaneers.

Active Sunday
Kendricks (personal/shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Kendricks missed all three of Dallas' practice sessions this week due to personal and shoulder issues. The middle linebacker has played on at least 88 percent of the team's defensive snaps in every game he's suited up for since Week 1. Kendricks has 119 tackles (61 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two pass breakups, including an interception, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 2024.

Could play in Week 15
Kendricks (personal/shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Despite logging three consecutive DNPs during the Cowboys' week of practice due to personal and shoulder issues, the veteran linebacker still has a chance to suit up in Week 15. However, it seems unlikely that Kendricks will play since he wasn't able to practice in at least in a limited capacity Friday. If he's sidelined Sunday, Buddy Johnson (illness) or Damone Clark could see increased work with the Cowboys' first-team defense.

Suiting up in Week 13
Kendricks (groin/shoulder) is listed as active Thursday versus the Giants.
Analysis: Kendrick missed both walkthroughs and Wednesday's practice this week due to groin and shoulder injuries, but neither of them will stop him from being available for the 11th time in 12 games this season. Overall, he has four double-digit tackle tallies en route to 97 stops, including 2.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one interception on the campaign.

Questionable vs. Giants
Kendricks (groin/shoulder) missed Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Cowboys may have taken the cautious route in keeping Kendricks out of two walkthroughs and Wednesday's session given that Dallas is operating on a short week. Despite the DNPs, Kendricks still has a chance to play Thursday, though whether he'll suit up may not be known until the Cowboys' inactive list is announced approximately 90 minutes before the 4:30 p.m. kickoff.

Kendricks (groin/shoulder) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Kendricks has not participated in the Cowboys' two walkthroughs this week due to groin and shoulder injuries. His practice participation Wednesday will provide clarity on his status heading into Thursday's game against the Giants. In the Cowboys' five regular-season games since the Week 7 bye, Kendricks has logged 45 tackles (22 solo), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Dealing with groin issue

Analysis: Kendricks played through a shoulder issue in the Cowboys' Week 12 win over the Commanders, recording 10 total tackles across 61 defensive snaps. However, it now appears he also picked up a groin injury in the process.

Double-digit tackles in win
Kendricks recorded 10 tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble in Sunday's win over the Commanders.
Analysis: While the veteran linebacker did miss a Week 6 clash with the Lions due to a calf injury, Kendricks has otherwise been arguably the most consistent IDP asset in the entire league in 2024. His 97 tackles has him tied for 12th in the NFL but he's never produced fewer than eight in a game this season, and he's also contributed 2.0 sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Logs full practice Thursday
Kendricks (shoulder) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's injury report, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis: A shoulder injury limited Kendrick's practice participation Wednesday, but he had no such issues during Thursday's session and should be good to go against the Commanders on Sunday. Kendricks has played 100 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps in three of Dallas' four regular-season games since the Week 7 bye, and over that span he has accumulated 35 tackles (18 solo) and one forced fumble.

Nursing shoulder injury
Kendricks (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant for Wednesday's walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Kendricks led the Cowboys with nine tackles in Monday's loss to the Texans, but it appears the 2015 second-round pick injured his shoulder in the process. His practice participation over the next two days will provide a sense of his availability for Sunday's NFC East clash against the Commanders.

Dallas' leading tackler in loss
Kendricks recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Monday's 34-10 loss versus the Texans.
Analysis: Kendricks now has at least eight tackles in all nine of his appearances so far this year, putting him safely on pace for his ninth consecutive season with at least 100 tackles. He projects as a strong IDP play in most formats for the Cowboys' game in Week 12 at Washington.

Across seven regular-season games, Kendricks has logged 70 tackles (33 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and two forced fumbles.

Kendricks (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kendricks opened Dallas' week of practice with a DNP, but he upgraded to limited work both Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing Sunday. However, if the veteran linebacker can't play through his shoulder injury in Week 10, expect Buddy Johnson to see increased work with the Cowboys' first-team defense.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Kendricks (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis: Kendricks did not play in Week 6 against the Lions due to a shoulder injury, but he has played in the Cowboys' last two games since their Week 7 bye. It's unclear if this shoulder injury is the same as the previous one, but it was serious enough for him to miss Wednesday's practice. Kendricks will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's NFC East clash against the Eagles.

Likely to play Sunday
Kendricks (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though he was a limited participant in practice throughout the week while managing the shoulder issue, Kendricks' snap count shouldn't be dramatically affected Sunday, assuming he does in fact gain clearance to play. The Cowboys' leading tackler this season with 61 through six appearances, Kendricks has also recorded an interception and a forced fumble and chipped in 2.0 sacks in Dallas' Week 1 win over Cleveland.

Another 100-plus tackle season
Kendricks registered 117 tackles (79 solo), six passes defensed, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble across 15 appearances for the Chargers in 2023.
Analysis: After a productive eight-year tenure in Minnesota, Kendricks wasn't quite as effective as some were anticipating in his debut season with the Chargers. While Kendricks did reach the 100-tackle plateau for an eighth consecutive season, he mustered only four games with double-digit stops. Kendricks carries a high cap hit for 2024 relative to his 2023 production, so it's possible that the cap-strapped Chargers could jettison Kendricks in favor of younger -- and cheaper -- options at linebacker.

Tackle leader in Week 8 win
Kendricks had 10 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Bears.
Analysis: It was the first time Kendricks has reached double-digit tackles in a game since Week 16 of the 2022 season. He seems to have recovered from a hamstring injury that forced him out of Week 3 and has played at least 50 defensive snaps in each of the last three games. Kendricks is up to 40 tackles for the year, second on the team behind Kenneth Murray (52).

Seven tackles in LAC debut
Kendricks tallied seven tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 36-34 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: The middle linebacker was one of just four Chargers to play all 67 defensive snaps. The long-time Vikings linebacker will be a key defensive piece moving forward, given his acumen as a coverage linebacker while simultaneously making a difference against the run game. Kendricks could see plenty of tackle opportunities against the run-heavy Titans in Week 2.

Kendricks agreed to terms Monday on a contract with the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After spending the first eight seasons of his career in Minnesota, it took little time for Kendricks to find a landing spot with the Chargers.

The 31-year-old hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2017, has seven consecutive seasons with over 100 tackles and played a career-high 1,051 defensive snaps last year, so there are plenty of reasons for teams around the league to be confident in his ability to continue contributing.

Analysis: Kendricks has started off the 2021 campaign strongly, as he's logged 37 tackles in three games. The middle linebacker will seek to play Sunday in what will be a high-upside contest against a run-heavy Cleveland offense. If Kendricks can't play Sunday, expect Troy Dye to start in relief.

Up to 37 stops
Kendricks posted 11 tackles (six solo) and a sack in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Kendricks has produced at least 11 tackles in all three games this year, putting up 37 stops in total. The 29-year-old has never recorded more than 113 stops in a season, but he will easily eclipse that number if he stays on this pace. Kendricks will focus on the Browns for now. He'll have high upside in that matchup, as the Browns lead the league with 102 rushing attempts.

Full participant in practice
Kendricks (hip) was a full participant in practice Thursday, according to the Vikings' official Twitter account.
Analysis: Kendricks returned to full action Thursday, which is an upgrade from the limited practice he logged Wednesday. It appears the veteran linebacker will likely be ready for the Vikings' Week 3 showdown with the Seahawks. Through two weeks, Kendricks has recorded a team-high 26 tackes, making him a solid IDP option.

Logs limited practice
Kendricks (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Analysis: Kendricks dealt with a quadriceps injury in practice last week, but it didn't ultimately impede him from racking up 11 total tackles against the Cardinals. With back-to-back double-digit tackling performances under his belt to begin the season, Kendricks will be an intriguing IDP fantasy option as long as he's cleared to suit up against Seattle on Sunday.

Racks up 11 stops
Kendricks posted 11 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Kendricks posted between 107 and 113 tackles in each of the last five seasons, and he has roared out of the gate in 2021 with 26 stops through two contests. The 2015 second-round pick makes his living as a run-stuffer and in coverage, thus providing elite IDP upside.

Playing Week 2
Kendricks (quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday at Arizona.
Analysis: Kendricks made a sudden appearance on the Week 2 injury report Thursday with a quad issue, and while he put in a full session Friday, he still entered the weekend with a question hanging over his status. Now that the Vikings have confirmed his availability, he should handle the majority of the snaps in the middle of the defense, which amounted to a whopping 15 tackles in the team's season-opening loss in Cincinnati.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
The Vikings listed Kendricks (quadriceps) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Chad Graff of The Athletic and Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune report.
Analysis: After a 15-tackle performance in Week 1, Kendricks suffered a quadriceps injury during practice ahead of Week 2. While the 29-year-old didn't practice Thursday, he was a full participant Friday, meaning he should be good to go for Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Quad injury surfaces
Kendricks (quadriceps) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Kendricks wasn't on Wednesday's injury report, so he likely sustained this injury in practice. His availability, or lack thereof, for Friday's practice should deliver greater insight into Kendricks' potential availability Sunday in Arizona. The Vikings can ill afford to be without Kendricks against the high-powered Cardinals offense, considering he racked up 15 tackles in Week 1.

Has 15 tackles in season opener
Kendricks had 15 total tackles in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Kendricks played on all of the defense's 69 snaps, showing he's back to full speed after missing the final five games of last season with a calf injury. Kendricks surged to an average of 9.7 tackles per game last season before the injury. While it's just one game and an overtime contest, Sunday's game suggests he may sustain that increase in tackle volume.

Returns to full practice
Kendricks (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's minicamp practice, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He had previously been seen taking part only in rehab work this spring.
Analysis: Kendricks missed the final five games of last season with a calf injury, but he looks like he's back to full strength ahead of training camp. The linebacker was in the midst of a strong season before the injury, recording 107 tackles over his 11 appearances.

Won't suit up for finale
Kendricks (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Kendricks was never placed on IR with his calf injury, but he ended up missing the Vikings' final five games of the season while recuperating. The 28-year-old wrapped up the campaign with 107 tackles over his 11 appearances. When he earned an All-Pro nod last season, Kendricks had only three more tackles over the course of a 15-game sample. The star linebacker remains under contract with Minnesota through 2023, but he's played for the last time this season.

Listed as DNP
Kendricks (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Kendricks has sat out four straight games with this injury, and he's trending toward missing the season finale. The Vikings are out of playoff contention, so they'll likely be cautious with regards to Kendricks' status for Sunday's game against the Lions. Blake Lynch is expected to start in Kendricks' place if he's ruled out again.

Out again Friday
Kendricks (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's clash with New Orleans.
Analysis: Kendricks was again unable to practice this week, as has been the case since he first injured his calf during pregame warmups in early December. As a result, the linebacker will miss his fourth straight contest. Todd Davis (ribs) has been filling in during Kendricks' absence, but with Davis listed as doubtful for Friday, Minnesota's linebacker corps could have a tough time slowing down Alvin Kamara and the rest of the Saints on Christmas Day.

Still not practicing
Kendricks (calf) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Kendricks hasn't logged any amount of practice reps since injuring his calf early December, and it looks like he's on track to miss his fourth straight game. As one of the best coverage linebackers in the league, the Vikings' defense would be particularly loathe to operate without Kendricks in a matchup against Alvin Kamara and the Saints.

Missing another contest
Kendricks (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Kendricks still has yet to resume practicing since suffering a calf injury during pregame warmups Week 13. Todd Davis stands to draw another start in the veteran linebacker's stead, but the impact of Kendricks' loss can't be understated for Minnesota's defense.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Kendricks (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Kendricks has been unable to practice or play since hurting his calf in Week 13 pregame warmups. Minnesota also promoted fellow linebacker Blake Lynch off the practice squad for added depth, suggesting the team has some serious doubts about Kendricks' ability to play against the Bears come Sunday, though he hasn't been ruled out at this time.

Will miss another game
Kendricks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Kendricks got hurt in pregame warmups last week and will miss a second consecutive game as a result of the injury. He'll set his sights on healing up in time to face the Bears in Week 15, while Todd Davis should continue to fill in at linebacker. Davis played 100 percent of defensive snaps in Kendricks' stead last week after being limited exclusively to special teams duty over the previous three.

Misses another practice
Kendricks (calf) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Kendricks has now missed two straight practices to begin the week, as he continues to nurse a calf injury sustained during pregame warmups prior to last weekend's win over Jacksonville. In order to have a realistic shot at facing the Buccaneers on Sunday, Kendricks would almost certainly have to return to practice in some capacity Friday.

Sidelined at practice
Kendricks (calf) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Kendricks tweaked his calf in pregame warmups ahead of last week's win over Jacksonville, as the issue appears serious enough to force him out of practice time. Expect the UCLA product's practice availability the rest of the week to paint a clearer picture for his chances to suit up in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If Kendricks is sidelined for the second straight game, Todd Davis and Ryan Connelly would be in line for an uptick in snaps at linebacker.

Tweaks injury in warmups
Kendricks won't play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a calf injury.
Analysis: The injury was thought to have occurred in pregame warmups, and the injury is serious enough to force him to miss the contest. With Kendricks sidelined, Troy Dye, Eric Wilson, Todd Davis and Ryan Connelly are the healthy linebackers for Week 13.

Another double-digit effort
Kendricks made 14 tackles in Sunday's 40-23 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: For the fifth time in six games, Kendricks recorded double-digit tackles, as he's now up to a whopping 67 stops this season. The 2015 second-round pick is a top IDP option, and barring an injury, Kendricks should shatter the career-high 113 tackles he posted back in 2017.

Avoids injury report
Kendricks (foot) is not listed on Friday's injury report, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Kendricks began the week with back-to-back missed practices, but he doesn't carry any sort of injury designation for Sunday night's contest in Seattle. The 28-year-old has played 100 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps through four games, and he currently leads the league with 45 total tackles, so the Vikings may have simply been allowing Kendricks some rest. He's an automatic weekly start in IDP formats.

Sits out practice Wednesday
Kendricks (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Kendricks has played every snap through four games, so it's unclear when he picked up the foot injury. It's concerning nonetheless, as Kendricks is sharp in coverage and leads the Vikings with 45 tackles -- two for a loss -- this year. If he's unable to play Sunday versus the Seahawks, expect either Todd Davis or Ryan Connelly to fill in.

Leading tackler through four games
Kendricks recorded a team-high 12 tackles (seven solo) and added a pass defensed in Sunday's 31-23 win over Houston.
Analysis: Kendricks has opened the season with four consecutive double-digit tackle performances and leads the league with 45 tackles through four weeks. The 28-year-old linebacker should be busy again in Week 5, as Minnesota will try to slow down a high-flying Seahawks offense that's averaging 35.5 points per game.

Shines despite defense's struggles
Kendricks had ten total tackles and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: While just about everything went wrong for Minnesota's defense in a 43-34 loss, Kendricks picked up where he left off in last year's All-Pro season. He gave up two receptions on six targets, but for just eight total yards, according to Pro Football Focus.

All-Pro season
Kendricks, who posted 13 tackles and an interception over two playoff games, finished with 110 tackles, 12 pass breakups and two forced fumbles over 15 regular-season games.
Analysis: Kendricks capped off his fourth straight season with 100-plus tackles, and he posted a career high in pass breakups. The 27-year-old middle linebacker earned first-team All-Pro honors as a result of his impressive campaign. Kendricks is under contract for four more seasons with an average salary of $10 million per year, which shapes up as a major discount if he keeps up this level of production.

Back at practice
Kendricks (quadriceps) is participating in Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Kendricks is nursing a quadriceps injury sustained during Week 16's loss to the Packers. Even if the starting linebacker only managed to practice on a limited basis Thursday, the fact that he's resumed any activity is a notable step in the right direction. His chances of suiting up for Sunday's playoff match against the Saints could come down to what he's able, or unable, to do in Friday's practice session.

Trending in wrong direction
Kendricks (quadriceps) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: This is more negative news for the linebacker, who hasn't practiced or played since suffering the injury in Week 16's loss to Green Bay. Kendricks likely will need to log at least limited practice this week if he wants a chance to play in the Wild Card game against the Saints on Sunday. If he can't go, however, Kentrell Brothers and Eric Wilson would be in line to see an increase in snaps.

Kendricks (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Kendricks went down with a quad injury during Monday night's loss to Green Bay.

Analysis: A significant loss for the Vikings defense, as Kendricks exits the contest with two fumble recoveries.

Kendricks (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Monday's game against Green Bay.
Analysis: Kendricks recovered a Davante Adams fumble in the second quarter and came up limping in the process.
