Kennard (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against Arizona. Kennard left Monday's game against Detroit with the injury and was unable to practice all week. As a depth player, Kennard's absence shouldn't make a big impact.

Kennard (hamstring) left Monday's game with a hamstring injury and will not return, the New York Daily News reports. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but look for a more revealing update later Monday night or early Tuesday. Kennard did not record a tackle before exiting.

Kennard has been a pleasant surprise thus far in camp and could even earn a significant role, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. It's still early, and Jacquian Williams, Jameel McClain and Jon Beason (when he returns) are also in the mix. But Kennard could contribute out of the gate this year.

Fifth-round rookie Devon Kennard has opened Giants camp as the starting strong-side linebacker. Undrafted rookie Dan Fox is running with the second team. It speaks to the Giants' depth issues at linebacker. Spencer Paysinger could eventually get into the mix with Kennard, while it's where Jameel McClain will likely shift once MLB Jon Beason (foot) returns to full health.

Giants rookie Devon Kennard could be in the mix to start at strong-side linebacker. The Giants are using Jameel McClain to help replace MLB Jon Beason (foot), leaving Kennard and Spencer Paysinger to compete at the SAM spot. Jacquian Williams is locked on the weak side. Kennard impressed during OTAs and could see meaningful snaps if Beason misses early-season games. McClain will move back to the strong side once Beason returns.

Giants rookie LB Devon Kennard filled in as the first-team middle linebacker after Jon Beason left practice with a foot injury. An outside 'backer in college, Kennard has been working exclusively as the second-team middle linebacker throughout OTas. Though Kennard filled in during practice, the Giants would certainly look to bring in veteran help if Beason is forced to miss any significant time.

Giants signed No. 174 overall pick OLB OLB Devon Kennard to a four-year contract. Kennard (6-foot-3, 249 pounds) lacks ideal burst off the edge, but is an energetic, high-motor pass rusher. He'll start out on special teams, but could see snaps as a reserve on defense.
