Kendricks (calf) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup with the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The middle linebacker got in a limited practice Friday after missing the sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Kendricks has 124 tackles (63 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 2024. Damone Clark or Buddy Johnson should see more snaps in his absence.

Kendricks (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks recorded five tackles (two solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-14 win at Carolina.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (personal/shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (personal/shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks logged 12 tackles (eight solo) during the Cowboys' loss to the Bengals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks led the team in stops and has now recorded double-digit tackles three weeks in a row. The 2015 first-round pick has been productive in his first season in Dallas, racking up 119 tackles (61 solo), with 3.0 sacks, and an interception in 12 games played.

Kendricks (groin/shoulder) is listed as active Thursday versus the Giants.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (groin/shoulder) did not practice Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

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).

Kendricks (groin/shoulder) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (groin/shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE 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. 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.
