Kendricks (hip) is not among the Vikings' inactives for Saturday's battle against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks hurt his hip against Indianapolis last week and was limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday before logging a full session Thursday. The veteran linebacker hasn't missed a game this season and will extend that run by suiting up Saturday versus New York. Kendricks leads the Vikings with 119 tackles on the campaign.

Kendricks (hip), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Giants, is in line to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks finished Week 16 prep as a full participant in practice, so the Vikings never seemed to have much concern about his availability for Saturday. The linebacker will be officially cleared upon the release of the Vikings' inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Kendricks has remained a top-flight IDP performer thus far in 2022, tallying 119 tackles, one sack and one touchdown, which came on a goal-line fumble recovery Week 10 in Buffalo.

Kendricks (hip) is considered as questionable for Saturday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks picked up a hip contusion during the Vikings' comeback overtime win against Indianapolis last Saturday, which left him limited during the first two practices of Week 16 prep. However, the 30-year-old was able to log a full session Thursday, according to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio, so it appears the linebacker could be closer to playing than sitting out against the Giants. Kendricks has already accumulated his second-most tackles in a season with 119 over 14 games in 2022, so his availability could be a big factor against New York's run-centric offense.

Kendricks (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks sustained a contusion on his lower leg in last weekend's overtime win over the Colts, explaining why he wasn't listed as a full participant during Tuesday's walk-through session. The former All-Pro will now have two more chances to partake in Week 16 prep before Minnesota would be forced to tag him with an injury designation heading into Saturday's matchup against the Giants.

Kendricks recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) and one sack during Saturday's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks, who played 94 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps this past weekend versus Indianapolis, logged a game-high 12 stops and also collected his first sack of the 2022-23 campaign. The former All-Pro now has a team-leading 119 tackles through Week 15 of this season, and he'll likely play a huge part in attempting to contain Saquon Barkley when the Vikings host the Giants on Saturday.

The linebacker rebounded well following a season-low two tackles against Dallas in Week 11 and will look to keep it up when the Vikings face off with the Jets in Week 13.
