Kendricks signed with the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday. With Fred Warner (ankle) on injured reserve and Tatum Bethune (ankle) dinged up, Kendricks is joining San Francisco as experienced linebacker depth. Kendricks started 15 games with Dallas last regular season, piling up 138 tackles (71 solo), including 3.0 sacks, three forced fumbles and three pass breakups, including a pair of interceptions.

Kendricks registered nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Eagles. Kendricks returned from a one-game absence due to a calf injury and co-led the Cowboys in tackling with Malik Hooker during Sunday's blowout loss. Kendricks has logged at least eight combined tackles in 13 of 14 regular-season games, and on the year he's up to 133 tackles (68 solo), including 3.0 sacks, three pass defenses (including two interceptions), three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. The 2015 second-round pick will look to surpass his career-best tackling output from 2021 with the Vikings (143 combined tackles across 15 regular-season games) in Week 18 against the Commanders.

Kendricks (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Kendricks opened the Cowboys' week of practice with a DNP after missing the Week 16 win over the Buccaneers due to a calf injury. However, the veteran linebacker upgraded to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he could return for Sunday's divisional matchup. Kendricks would be a significant addition to an already hot Cowboys defense, having recorded 124 total tackles in 13 appearances this season. If the 32-year-old is able to suit up in Week 17, he's likely to serve as Dallas' top inside linebacker.

Kendricks (calf) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. The middle linebacker was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report after missing Dallas' 26-24 win over Tampa Bay last Sunday night with the same injury. Kendricks, who signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys in the offseason and went on to record his ninth straight 100-plus-tackle campaign, appears to be trending toward returning, though Dallas is eliminated from playoff contention. If he can't go Sunday against the Eagles, Buddy Johnson is next in line to start.

Kendricks (calf) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup with the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. The middle linebacker got in a limited practice Friday after missing the sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Kendricks has 124 tackles (63 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 2024. Damone Clark or Buddy Johnson should see more snaps in his absence.
