Eagles ILB Mychal Kendricks left Sunday's Week 10 game at Green Bay with a knee injury. In the first quarter, Kendricks tried to tackle Eddie Lacy at the second level and took the worst of it. Trainers were looking at his right knee before he went to the locker room for X-rays. Kendricks, perhaps the most athletic player on the entire Eagles defense, was second on the team with 66 tackles through nine games.

Eagles DC Billy Davis said ILB Mychal Kendricks' "knack" for blitzing is "very exciting." Kendricks looked like the best defender on the field Monday night, flying around for 10 tackles (six solo, one for a loss) and two quarterback hits. Now a blitzer from weak-side inside 'backer, he's going to shatter last year's mark of one sack. Kendricks, also a strong coverage linebacker, is an IDP sleeper turned gold.

Eagles ILB Mychal Kendricks is expected to rush the quarterback more this season. Kendricks sometimes gets a "cover linebacker" tag because he ran a 4.47 at the Combine. But he's also capable of a pass rush, something he wasn't able to show as an outside linebacker in last year's Wide Nine scheme. Now that new DC Billy Davis is installing some variation of a 3-4 base, Kendricks is licking his chops. He's one of our favorite IDP sleepers.

Sheil Kapadia of Philly Mag thinks Eagles ILB Mychal Kendricks can have a "really big year" this season.

Eagles SLB Mychal Kendricks (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17. Both Kendricks and fellow rookie DT Fletcher Cox sustained concussions in last week's loss to the Redskins. Kendricks is currently third on the team in tackles with 75, and has recorded an impressive nine passes defensed. Akeem Jordan will start at linebacker in Kendricks' place

Eagles LB Mychal Kendricks sustained a concussion in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Redskins. Along with fellow rookie Fletcher Cox, Kendricks was a bright spot in a lost season for the Eagles. Assuming he sits out the finale, the second-round pick will finish with 75 tackles and one sack. He'll be back as the likely starter on the strong side under a new regime in 2013.

Eagles SLB Mychal Kendricks did not start Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Falcons for disciplinary reasons. Casey Matthews played the strong-side linebacker spot during the first series. After that Kendricks assumed his normal role. The second-round rookie finished with just two tackles and one pass breakup. As a whole, the Eagles defense forced just one punt and didn't generate a single turnover.

Eagles SLB Mychal Kendricks left Sunday's Week 5 game versus the Steelers with an apparent ankle injury. Kendricks had trouble putting weight on the foot and was sent to the trainers' table. He had missed a couple of key tackles earlier in the game. Casey Matthews has come on as his replacement.

Eagles rookie SLB Mychal Kendricks has not worked with the nickel defense so far training camp. Kendricks posted five tackles, including two for a loss, in the preseason opener, but he's coming off the field on passing downs. While this will limit his IDP appeal, Kendricks continues to impress with his physical, sideline-to-sideline play. "Mychal, man he's relentless," said defensive coordinator Juan Castillo. "... He came through and made big plays (Thursday night against the Steelers)."

Coach Andy Reid confirmed Sunday that second-round pick Mychal Kendricks will open camp as the Eagles' starting strong-side linebacker. It's as expected, but still quite the nod of approval for a rookie before contact practices have even begun. Eagles coaches love Kendricks, and he projects as a three-down linebacker in his first year. IDPers should keep tabs.
