Suiting up in Week 13
Published: 2024-11-28
Kendricks (groin/shoulder) is listed as active Thursday versus the Giants.
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
Published: 2024-11-27
Kendrick (groin/shoulder) did not practice Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The Cowboys may have taken the cautious route in keeping Kendricks out of walkthroughs and Wednesday's practice given that Dallas is operating on a short week. Despite the DNPs, Kendricks still has a chance at playing 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. If Kendricks ends up being sidelined for Thursday's contest, Marist Liufau would be the top candidate to start at linebacker alongside DeMarvion Overshown and Nick Vigil (foot).
DNP on Tuesday
Published: 2024-11-26
Kendricks (groin/shoulder) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
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
Published: 2024-11-25
Kendricks (groin/shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
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. The veteran linebacker likely needs to practice in a limited capacity Tuesday or Wednesday in order to play in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants.
Double-digit tackles in win
Published: 2024-11-25
Kendricks recorded 10 tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble in Sunday's win over the Commanders.
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
Published: 2024-11-21
Kendricks (shoulder) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's injury report, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
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
Published: 2024-11-20
Kendricks (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant for Wednesday's walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
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
Published: 2024-11-19
Kendricks recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Monday's 34-10 loss versus the Texans.
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.
