Kendricks (quadriceps) didn't practice Thursday.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks had 15 total tackles in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks was a full participant in Wednesday's minicamp and was impressive with an interception, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He had been seen doing only rehab work in previous practices this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks missed the final five games of last season with a calf injury, but it sounds like he's back to full strength ahead of training camp. Kendricks was having a strong season before the injury with 107 tackles over his 11 appearances and should return to be the anchor for Minnesota's linebacking corps.

Kendricks (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's clash with New Orleans.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE 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.

Kendricks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE 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.
