49ers' Mychal Kendricks: Sent to injured reserve
Rotowire
The 49ers placed Kendricks (toe) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Kendricks is dealing with a toe injury picked up during Sunday's preseason contest against the Chargers, and which coach Kyle Shanahan said would likely sideline him for at least a month. However, the timing of Kendricks' placement on IR makes him ineligible to return this season, unless he reaches an injury settlement and parts ways with the 49ers.

Rotowire
Kendricks (toe) will be out for at least a month according to coach Kyle Shanahan, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Kendricks didn't re-enter Sunday's preseason contest after picking up the injury in the first half. It is likely the 30-year-old will miss at least one regular season game as he rehabs. The 49ers currently have injuries to Kendricks, Dre Greenlaw (blister), Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (concussion) -- their top four outside linebackers.

Seahawks' Mychal Kendricks: Lands on IR
Rotowire
Kendricks (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Kendricks sustained a torn ACL in the season finale, so he's already been ruled out for playoffs. The Seahawks took their time placing him on IR, but now they need an open roster spot for offensive tackle Chad Wheeler. It's unclear whether Kendricks will be ready for the 2020 season. He'll be an unrestricted free agent in March, but first, he's set to be sentenced for his insider trading case in February, although this date has been moved back multiple times.

An MRI on Monday revealed that Kendricks suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to San Francisco, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
This news confirms that Kendricks won't be available for the playoffs, as he's set to have surgery in the coming days. His absence will be a tough blow to the stout Seahawks defense. In Kendricks' absence, Cody Barton is the likely candidate to fill in at outside linebacker.

Seahawks' Mychal Kendricks: Injured in finale
Rotowire
Kendricks left Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a knee injury, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.
Kendricks was burned for a big gain by Kyle Juszczyk and was in obvious discomfort after the play. He headed off to the locker room soon after. It's unclear if this injury has anything to do with the hamstring injury that forced Kendricks to miss a pair of games earlier this month, but it's officially being called a knee injury. His return is considered questionable.

Seahawks' Mychal Kendricks: Logs seven tackles in opener
Rotowire
Kendricks finished with seven tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup Sunday in the Seahawks' 21-20 win over the Bengals.
The 28-year-old ranked third on the team in stops in the opener and played 90 percent of Seattle's defensive snaps. The linebacker should continue to handle a near-every-down role for Seattle throughout the season, even while he continues to face an ongoing insider trading case. According to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, Kendricks is next scheduled to face sentencing in the case Nov. 21, but he can request to have his sentencing pushed back to a date after the season has concluded, if desired.

Seahawks' Mychal Kendricks: Given eight-game suspension
Rotowire
The NFL has suspended Kendricks for eight games for insider trading, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports.
Kendricks was suspended indefinitely on Oct. 2, and because he'll get credit for time served, he'll be able return to action on Dec. 10 against the the Vikings. According to the report, Kendricks will be eligible to practice two weeks prior to that. The linebacker spent the offseason with the Browns before being released after pleading guilty to insider trading. He was signed by Seattle in mid-September and combined for 13 tackles and two sacks.
The NFL suspended Kendricks indefinitely for insider trading Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Kendricks pleaded guilty for insider trading in early September and is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 24. The Browns parted ways with the linebacker when the team learned of his crime, though the Seahawks signed him to a one-year deal soon after. Kendricks played three games for the Seahawks, totaling 15 tackles and two sacks. Kendricks will be barred from playing until his situation is resolved, but it's fair to say his career in the NFL is in serious jeopardy

Seahawks' Mychal Kendricks: Still not suspended
Rotowire
Kendricks (ankle) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
He'll first need to shake an ankle injury that made him limited during this week's practices, but coach Pete Carroll assured the media that the NFL deemed Kendricks eligible for Week 3. It's still unclear when the suspension will be handed down, but with Bobby Wagner returning from a groin injury, Kendricks will be needed less from now on. Still, expect Kendricks to log a hefty workload if K.J. Wright (knee) can't go again.
Kendricks is facing charges for insider trading, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kendricks released a statement saying he was misled by a former friend four years ago, but also acknowledged that he knew he was doing something wrong and intends to repay all the funds gained illegally. The NFL likely will review the situation under its personal-conduct policy, without much precedent existing for this type of situation. Signed to a one-year contract this offseason, Kendricks is expected to fill a key backup role as part of Cleveland's deep linebacker group.

Eagles' Mychal Kendricks: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Kendricks (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against Washington.
Kendricks logged two limited practices to close out the week, but that he couldn't participate fully in practice at any point this week and missed Thursday's practice entirely implies he might be truly questionable for Monday, or at least somewhat limited even if he's expected to play. Najee Goode might be next in line if Kendricks can't provide his usual workload as Philadelphia's third linebacker.

Eagles' Mychal Kendricks: Records double-digit tackles Thursday
Rotowire
Kendricks recorded 17 tackles (12 solo, 5 assisted) in Thursday's victory at Carolina.
He saw 55 snaps, his highest number of the season and made them count, as he almost doubled his tackle total for the year. Perhaps this sort of monster game will allow the Eagles to take it easy with Jordan Hicks' nagging ankle injury. However, Hicks will have extra time to recover since Philadelphia doesn't play until Monday night in Week 7, so this remains a situation to monitor in IDP leagues.

Eagles' Mychal Kendricks: Sitting out with quad injury
Rotowire
Kendricks has missed the past two practices with a quadriceps injury and is considered day-to-day by head coach Doug Pederson, PennLive.com reports.
Although Pederson is downplaying the injury, Kendricks has dealt with quad strains in each of the past two seasons, so this seems to be a recurring problem for the sixth-year linebacker. Look for the Eagles to keep him sidelined until they're sure he's good to go.
