Kendricks (biceps ) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks suffered the injury in a Week 12 loss to the 49ers. He logged two limited practices -- one of which came Friday -- though that won't be enough for him to take the field Sunday against the Lions. Kendricks' absence will leave a void in the middle of the Vikings defense, which Troy Dye will likely be tasked will trying to fill.

Kendricks (biceps) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks has had his practice reps severely limited throughout the week by the injury, so his status will likely come down to a game-time decision. If he's unable to play, Troy Dye would likely slide into a starting role at middle linebacker against a Lions offense that will likely lean heavily on running back Jamaal Williams with D'Andre Swift (shoulder) unavailable.

Kendricks (biceps) didn't practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks is trending in the wrong direction after being listed as limited Wednesday. His status at Friday's practice will bear monitoring. Should Kendricks miss Sunday's game against Detroit, Troy Dye would likely get the start at middle linebacker.
