Kendricks (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Kendricks was able to log a limited practice Friday after back-to-back DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. The veteran linebacker previously dealt with a shoulder injury, so the calf is a new issue. Kendricks has started all 13 games he's appeared in this season, logging 124 tackles (63 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Damone Clark or Buddy Johnson would likely be next up for linebacker snaps if Kendricks can't play Sunday.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Could play in Week 15
Rotowire
Kendricks (personal/shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Despite logging three consecutive DNPs during the Cowboys' week of practice due to personal and shoulder issues, the veteran linebacker still has a chance to suit up in Week 15. However, it seems unlikely that Kendricks will play since he wasn't able to practice in at least in a limited capacity Friday. If he's sidelined Sunday, Buddy Johnson (illness) or Damone Clark could see increased work with the Cowboys' first-team defense.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Questionable vs. Giants
Rotowire
Kendricks (groin/shoulder) missed Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The Cowboys may have taken the cautious route in keeping Kendricks out of two walkthroughs and Wednesday's session given that Dallas is operating on a short week. Despite the DNPs, Kendricks still has a chance to play Thursday, though whether he'll suit up may not be known until the Cowboys' inactive list is announced approximately 90 minutes before the 4:30 p.m. kickoff. If Kendricks ends up being sidelined, Marist Liufau would be the top candidate to start at linebacker alongside DeMarvion Overshown.

Rotowire
Kendricks (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
