Kendricks recorded eight tackles (three solo) in Dallas' loss to the Saints on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After playing just 67 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 1 win over Cleveland due to dehydration, Kendricks was able to stay on the field versus New Orleans, finishing with a 95 percent snap share. His eight tackles led the team, and Kendricks now has 17 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, two QB hits and one interception after two contests.

Kendricks (rest) did not practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick was dealing with a back injury late in training camp and exited Sunday's win over the Browns due to dehydration. It's unclear if either issue is the source of his rest day, but either way, the veteran linebacker will get the day off. He should have no issues suiting up in Week 2 against the Saints.

Kendricks is dealing with dehydration and is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Browns, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks has already racked up nine total tackles (six solo), including two sacks, and an interception against Cleveland. The linebacker is certainly making the most of his opportunity as a starter in his debut with Dallas.

Kendricks (back) was absent from the Cowboys' injury report Wednesday, Nick Harris of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks has been nursing a back issue since late July, which kept him out of all three of the Cowboys' preseason games. The 2015 second-round pick is slated to serve as Dallas' starting middle linebacker. Kendricks spent the first eight years of his career with the Vikings before joining the Chargers in 2023, during which he registered 117 tackles (79 solo), including 3.5 sacks, six passes defended and one fumble recovery across 15 regular-season games.

Kendricks missed Wednesday's practice and is considered day-to-day with a back injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks, who signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys in March, is now in jeopardy of missing some time with a back issue. It appears that the 32-year-old's absence won't be extensive, but both Markquese Bell and Damien Wilson are expected to see increased reps with the Cowboys' first-team defense as Kendricks works back from injury.

Kendricks and the Cowboys agreed on a contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

After initially agreeing to a deal with the 49ers, Kendricks had a change of heart and he'll ultimately reunite with his former head coach Mike Zimmer, who is now the Cowboys' defensive coordinator. Kendricks spent the 2023 campaign with the Chargers, recording 117 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, while also adding six pass deflections and a fumble recovery over 15 contests. He'll likely operate as the starting middle linebacker in Dallas and he'll look to maintain his impressive level of production.

Kendricks is set to sign a one-year contract with the 49ers, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks has racked up over 100 tackles in each of the past eight seasons. The 32-year-old linebacker, who played for the Chargers in 2023, is expected to help replace Dre Greenlaw (Achilles), who is slated to miss most or all of the 2024 campaign after getting injured in the Super Bowl.

Kendricks was released by the Chargers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks joined the Chargers on a two-year deal in 2023, after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Vikings. The veteran linebacker appeared in 15 games last season, recording 117 tackles (79 solo), 3.5 sacks and six passes defended.

Kendricks registered 117 tackles (79 solo), six passes defensed, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble across 15 appearances for the Chargers in 2023.

EDGE Analysis

After a productive eight-year tenure in Minnesota, Kendricks wasn't quite as effective as some were anticipating in his debut season with the Chargers. While Kendricks did reach the 100-tackle plateau for an eighth consecutive season, he mustered only four games with double-digit stops. Kendricks carries a high cap hit for 2024 relative to his 2023 production, so it's possible that the cap-strapped Chargers could jettison Kendricks in favor of younger -- and cheaper -- options at linebacker.

Kendricks had a game-high 14 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks was one of three Chargers defenders to finish Sunday's game with double-digit tackles and was the fourth time he's reached that mark this season. It was the first time since Week 1 that Kendricks played every single defensive snap. The 2015 second-round pick out of UCLA has recorded 110 tackles (72 solo), including 3.5 sacks, five passes defended and one forced fumble over 14 games in his first season with the Chargers.
