News

  • Full participant in practice

    Kendricks (hip) was a full participant in practice Thursday, according to the Vikings' official Twitter account.

    Analysis: Kendricks returned to full action Thursday, which is an upgrade from the limited practice he logged Wednesday. It appears the veteran linebacker will likely be ready for the Vikings' Week 3 showdown with the Seahawks. Through two weeks, Kendricks has recorded a team-high 26 tackes, making him a solid IDP option.

  • Logs limited practice

    Kendricks (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kendricks dealt with a quadriceps injury in practice last week, but it didn't ultimately impede him from racking up 11 total tackles against the Cardinals. With back-to-back double-digit tackling performances under his belt to begin the season, Kendricks will be an intriguing IDP fantasy option as long as he's cleared to suit up against Seattle on Sunday.

  • Racks up 11 stops

    Kendricks posted 11 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Kendricks posted between 107 and 113 tackles in each of the last five seasons, and he has roared out of the gate in 2021 with 26 stops through two contests. The 2015 second-round pick makes his living as a run-stuffer and in coverage, thus providing elite IDP upside.

  • Playing Week 2

    Kendricks (quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday at Arizona.

    Analysis: Kendricks made a sudden appearance on the Week 2 injury report Thursday with a quad issue, and while he put in a full session Friday, he still entered the weekend with a question hanging over his status. Now that the Vikings have confirmed his availability, he should handle the majority of the snaps in the middle of the defense, which amounted to a whopping 15 tackles in the team's season-opening loss in Cincinnati.

  • Listed as questionable for Sunday

    The Vikings listed Kendricks (quadriceps) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Chad Graff of The Athletic and Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune report.

    Analysis: After a 15-tackle performance in Week 1, Kendricks suffered a quadriceps injury during practice ahead of Week 2. While the 29-year-old didn't practice Thursday, he was a full participant Friday, meaning he should be good to go for Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Quad injury surfaces

    Kendricks (quadriceps) didn't practice Thursday.

    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.

  • Has 15 tackles in season opener

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

    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.

  • Returns to full practice

    Kendricks (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's minicamp practice, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He had previously been seen taking part only in rehab work this spring.

    Analysis: Kendricks missed the final five games of last season with a calf injury, but he looks like he's back to full strength ahead of training camp. The linebacker was in the midst of a strong season before the injury, recording 107 tackles over his 11 appearances.

  • Won't suit up for finale

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

    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.

  • Listed as DNP

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

    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.

  • Out again Friday

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

    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.

  • Still not practicing

    Kendricks (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

    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.

  • Missing another contest

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

    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.

    Published: Fri, Dec 18 at 11:30am by Rotowire.com

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

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

    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.

  • Will miss another game

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

    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.

  • Misses another practice

    Kendricks (calf) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Kendricks has now missed two straight practices to begin the week, as he continues to nurse a calf injury sustained during pregame warmups prior to last weekend's win over Jacksonville. In order to have a realistic shot at facing the Buccaneers on Sunday, Kendricks would almost certainly have to return to practice in some capacity Friday.

  • Sidelined at practice

    Kendricks (calf) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Kendricks tweaked his calf in pregame warmups ahead of last week's win over Jacksonville, as the issue appears serious enough to force him out of practice time. Expect the UCLA product's practice availability the rest of the week to paint a clearer picture for his chances to suit up in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If Kendricks is sidelined for the second straight game, Todd Davis and Ryan Connelly would be in line for an uptick in snaps at linebacker.

  • Tweaks injury in warmups

    Kendricks won't play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a calf injury.

    Analysis: The injury was thought to have occurred in pregame warmups, and the injury is serious enough to force him to miss the contest. With Kendricks sidelined, Troy Dye, Eric Wilson, Todd Davis and Ryan Connelly are the healthy linebackers for Week 13.

  • Piling up tackles

    Kendricks had 12 total tackles, two tackles for a loss and an interception in Sunday's win over Carolina.

    Analysis: While Minnesota's defense has struggled this season, Kendricks is having one of his best seasons. He's averaging a career-high 9.7 tackles per game along with three interceptions.

    Published: Tue, Dec 1 at 9:23am by Rotowire.com

  • Another double-digit effort

    Kendricks made 14 tackles in Sunday's 40-23 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: For the fifth time in six games, Kendricks recorded double-digit tackles, as he's now up to a whopping 67 stops this season. The 2015 second-round pick is a top IDP option, and barring an injury, Kendricks should shatter the career-high 113 tackles he posted back in 2017.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Avoids injury report

    Kendricks (foot) is not listed on Friday's injury report, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Kendricks began the week with back-to-back missed practices, but he doesn't carry any sort of injury designation for Sunday night's contest in Seattle. The 28-year-old has played 100 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps through four games, and he currently leads the league with 45 total tackles, so the Vikings may have simply been allowing Kendricks some rest. He's an automatic weekly start in IDP formats.

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

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

    Analysis: Kendricks has played every snap through four games, so it's unclear when he picked up the foot injury. It's concerning nonetheless, as Kendricks is sharp in coverage and leads the Vikings with 45 tackles -- two for a loss -- this year. If he's unable to play Sunday versus the Seahawks, expect either Todd Davis or Ryan Connelly to fill in.

  • Leading tackler through four games

    Kendricks recorded a team-high 12 tackles (seven solo) and added a pass defensed in Sunday's 31-23 win over Houston.

    Analysis: Kendricks has opened the season with four consecutive double-digit tackle performances and leads the league with 45 tackles through four weeks. The 28-year-old linebacker should be busy again in Week 5, as Minnesota will try to slow down a high-flying Seahawks offense that's averaging 35.5 points per game.

  • Shines despite defense's struggles

    Kendricks had ten total tackles and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: While just about everything went wrong for Minnesota's defense in a 43-34 loss, Kendricks picked up where he left off in last year's All-Pro season. He gave up two receptions on six targets, but for just eight total yards, according to Pro Football Focus.

  • All-Pro season

    Kendricks, who posted 13 tackles and an interception over two playoff games, finished with 110 tackles, 12 pass breakups and two forced fumbles over 15 regular-season games.

    Analysis: Kendricks capped off his fourth straight season with 100-plus tackles, and he posted a career high in pass breakups. The 27-year-old middle linebacker earned first-team All-Pro honors as a result of his impressive campaign. Kendricks is under contract for four more seasons with an average salary of $10 million per year, which shapes up as a major discount if he keeps up this level of production.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Kendricks (quadriceps) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's playoff game at New Orleans, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old began the week not practicing but put in a full practice session Friday to avoid the questionable tag. Kendricks also received first-team All-Pro honors and will take up his usual starting role versus the Saints.

    Published: Fri, Jan 3 at 1:51pm by Rotowire.com

  • Back at practice

    Kendricks (quadriceps) is participating in Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Kendricks is nursing a quadriceps injury sustained during Week 16's loss to the Packers. Even if the starting linebacker only managed to practice on a limited basis Thursday, the fact that he's resumed any activity is a notable step in the right direction. His chances of suiting up for Sunday's playoff match against the Saints could come down to what he's able, or unable, to do in Friday's practice session.

    Published: Thu, Jan 2 at 10:05am by Rotowire.com

  • Trending in wrong direction

    Kendricks (quadriceps) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: This is more negative news for the linebacker, who hasn't practiced or played since suffering the injury in Week 16's loss to Green Bay. Kendricks likely will need to log at least limited practice this week if he wants a chance to play in the Wild Card game against the Saints on Sunday. If he can't go, however, Kentrell Brothers and Eric Wilson would be in line to see an increase in snaps.

  • Won't face Bears

    Kendricks (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Chicago, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Kendricks suffered a quad injury during the first quarter of Week 16's loss to the Packers, and he'll miss Sunday's regular-season finale while working to recover. The star linebacker will target a return to the field in the postseason.

  • Listed as DNP

    Kendricks (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

    Analysis: Kendricks went down with a quad injury during Monday night's loss to Green Bay. It's no surprise that he was thought to have been a DNP during the first practice of a short week, especially after head coach Mike Zimmer said Tuesday that Kendricks underwent an MRI on Tuesday, per Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. There seems to be a good chance the linebacker won't be able to play this weekend against Chicago, but Kendricks at least has a couple more days to return to the practice…read more

  • Out with quad injury

    Kendricks suffered a quad injury Monday night against the Packers and will not return, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: A significant loss for the Vikings defense, as Kendricks exits the contest with two fumble recoveries. Look for more updates on the linebacker's status to come when the team resumes practice later this week. For the remainder of Monday's contest, look for Kentrell Brothers and Eric Wilson to see increased defensive snaps.

  • Picks up injury

    Kendricks (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Monday's game against Green Bay.

    Analysis: Kendricks recovered a Davante Adams fumble in the second quarter and came up limping in the process. The veteran was seen without his helmet on the sidelines, which is certainly a negative sign for his chances to return. As long as Kendricks is sidelined, look for Kentrell Brothers and Eric Wilson to be the likely beneficiaries to see an uptick in snaps.

  • Forces fumble in win

    Kendricks logged seven tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble in Sunday's win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Kendricks has made seven tackles in back-to-back games. He has no fewer than six in any game this year and needs just four to break his career high of 113.

  • Tallies seven tackles in win

    Kendricks logged seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Kendricks has at least six tackles in every game this season but hasn't made many big plays. While he is just 10 tackles short of his career-high 113, he has no interceptions and just half a sack on the year.

  • Records 10 tackles

    Kendricks piled up 10 tackles (four solo) in Monday's loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Kendricks reached double-digit tackles for the fourth time this year. The middle linebacker is currently on pace for 128 tackles, comfortably the highest total on the Vikings' defense, and has proven to be a fairly consistent performer week in and week out. He will look to keep it rolling against the Lions in Week 14.
