Claimed by LAR
Kendrick was claimed off waivers by the Rams on Wednesday.
Analysis: Kendrick was waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday, and he has quickly found a new home in Los Angeles. The cornerback has compiled seven total tackles (four solo) and five passes defensed, including two interceptions, over 10 contests with Seattle this year. He'll provide the Rams with an additional depth option behind Emmanuel Forbes, Cobie Durant and Josh Wallace in the secondary.

Let go by Seattle
Kendrick was waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Kendrick began the season with a significant role in the Seattle secondary, primarily due to injuries. He was limited mostly to a special-teams role of late, logging only four total defensive snaps across the Seahawks' last five games.

Notches another pick
Kendrick recorded four tackles (two solo), three pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Kendrick has started the last two games with Devon Witherspoon (knee) inactive, and he has an interception in each of those games. Kendrick has starting experience from his days playing for the Rams, but an ACL tear wiped out his 2024 season before he was let go by the team this August. There's a good chance he starts again in Thursday's matchup versus the Cardinals.

Headed to Seattle
Kendrick was claimed off waivers by the Seahawks on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Kendrick will head to Seattle after being waived by the Rams on Tuesday. The cornerback recorded five total tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed over three preseason contests with Los Angeles, and he will now operate as a top reserve option in the Seahawks' secondary behind starters Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe in 2025.

Brought back by Rams
Los Angeles signed Kendrick to a contract Tuesday.
Analysis: The Rams recently waived Kendrick on Friday, but it appears the team always intended to reunite with the 2022 sixth-round pick. Kendrick missed the entire 2024 campaign due to a torn ACL but had been participating in OTAs and was waived without an injury designation, indicating that he's fully healthy. He started 12 of 17 regular-season appearances in 2023 and will now compete with Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon to regain a key role at cornerback.

Let go by Los Angeles
The Rams waived Kendrick on Friday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Kendrick suffered a torn ACL last July and missed the entire season. However, he had been participating in OTAs prior to being waived and wasn't given an injury designation, so Kendrick is presumably healthy again. The Georgia product had been a prominent part of the Rams' defense prior to getting hurt, as he started 12 of the team's 17 games in 2023. For the time being, Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon appear to be Los Angeles' top outside cornerbacks.

Participating in OTAs
Kendrick (knee) has been taking part in the Rams' offseason training activities.
Analysis: Kendrick tore his ACL last July and missed the entire campaign. He had been slated for a prominent role after totaling 49 tackles and 10 defensed passes, including one interception, while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2023. If Kendrick is able to fully return from the injury, he could again be in line for a significant role, though Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon may be ahead of him on the cornerback depth chart.

Officially goes on IR
The Rams placed Kendrick (knee) on their injured reserve list Friday.
Analysis: Kendrick tore his ACL on Thursday, so the procedural transaction doesn't come as a surprise. The 2022 sixth-rounder had a promising second season as a pro last year and was in line for a significant role in the upcoming campaign, but now he doesn't figure to return to the field until 2025.

Torn ACL confirmed
Coach Sean McVay confirmed that Kendrick suffered a torn ACL on Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kendrick suffered the injury during practice Wednesday and the team suspected that he tore his ACL. With that news confirmed, he'll miss the entire 2024 season and leave a significant hole in the Rams' secondary. Los Angeles added Tre'Davious White and Darious Williams (hamstring) this offseason to bolster the unit, but White has suffered significant knee and Achilles injuries across the last few seasons.

May have suffered ACL tear
Kendrick injured his knee Wednesday and is feared to have suffered an ACL tear, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Kendrick started six of his 15 games in 2022 and 12 of 17 in 2023, logging 1,341 defensive snaps across two seasons after the Rams took him in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. This will be a significant loss for the team's defense if testing confirms initial fears, even though the Rams signed CBs Darious Williams and Tre'Davious White this offseason. Williams already seemed locked in as a starter, while White is more of an unknown after suffering an ACL tear in 2021 and an Achilles'…read more

Sees usage increase in second year
Kendrick recorded 49 tackles (41 solo), 10 passes defended and an interception during the 2023 regular season over 17 games played.
Analysis: Kendrick was given two opportunities throughout the season to prove his worth as a starter, as he began the year starting alongside Ahkello Witherspoon and regained the role after losing it to Cobie Durant for a few weeks in the middle of the season. Kendrick wouldn't be able to hang on to the starting job on his second chance, however, and was relegated to backup duty by Week 16. Witherspoon may leave in free agency, but the Rams may elect to shore up the position in the offseason,…read more

Ready for Week 1
Kendrick (hamstring) was not included on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Kendrick appears to be ready to go ahead of the 2023 season after he'd been nursing a hamstring injury the last couple weeks. The cornerback is expected to start in the Rams' secondary this year after compiling 43 tackles and four pass deflections over 15 games during his rookie campaign in 2022.

Returning to practice
Kendrick (hamstring) is expected to return to practice this week, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kendrick has been dealing with an injured hamstring since training camp but now seems to be close to returning. The 2022 sixth-round pick should see solid playing time this season and could even compete for a starting role in what's become a thin position group following Jalen Ramsey's departure.

Missing time with hamstring injury
Kendrick (hamstring) has been absent from practices, The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue reports.
Analysis: Coach Sean McVay said Kendrick is "making good progress," per Rodrigue, but a timetable for return is unclear. In a Jalen Ramsey-less cornerback room, Kendrick is competing for a starting job this summer. A sixth-round pick last year, Kendrick appeared in 15 games as a rookie, making six starts and playing 50 percent of the defensive snaps.

Season-best outing Week 13
Kendrick recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Kendrick played every defensive snap for the first time since Week 8 with starting cornerback Troy Hill ruled out with a groin injury against Seattle. The rookie cornerback has stepped up into a starting role numerous times in the Rams' banged-up secondary this season. However, this marked Kendrick's first career double-digit tackle performance, and he also paced the team in stops during this tough divisional loss. Kendrick should start again if Hill remains sidelined against Las Vegas on…read more

Clears concussion protocol
Kendrick has cleared concussion protocol and is available for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kendrick logged full practice sessions both Friday and Saturday and has shed his status on the injury report as a result. He made his professional debut in Week 3 and logged a 90 percent snap rate with David Long (groin) sidelined. Long has already been ruled out for Week 4, so Kendrick should see a significant role once again.

Logs full practice
Kendrick (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kendrick's status for Monday against the 49ers is still up in the air, as he still is technically in concussion protocols. However, having logged a full practice and with an extra day to recover, Kendrick appears to be headed in the right direction.

Remains in protocols
Kendrick (concussion) will log a limited practice Thursday, although he is still in concussion protocols, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Kendrick is "making great progress," according to head coach Sean McVay, which Manzano notes in his tweet. He suffered the injury in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals and his status for Monday night's game against the 49ers remains questionable. If he can get fully cleared through concussion protocols, he should be able to suit up versus San Francisco.

Still in concussion protocol
Kendrick suffered a concussion during Sunday's win over the Cardinals, but coach Sean McVay is cautiously optimistic about his status for Week 4, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kendrick handled an increased role Sunday since several of the team's other cornerbacks were banged up, but the rookie sixth-rounder had to leave the game in the fourth quarter. He'll have one extra day to clear protocols as the Rams next matchup is against the 49ers on Monday night.

Being evaluated for concussion
Kendrick is being evaluated for a concussion following the Rams' 20-12 win over the Cardinals on Sunday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Kendrick handled an increased role Sunday since several of the team's other cornerbacks were banged up, but the rookie sixth-rounder sustained a head injury of his own in the fourth quarter. If he's ultimately diagnosed with a concussion, he'll have several steps to clear if he hopes to play next Monday against San Francisco.
