News

  • Not suiting up Sunday

    Kennedy (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Kennedy was active the past four games and had three catches for 73 yards during that stretch, but he won't be suiting up for Sunday's contest. Detroit finally has its full complement of top receivers with rookie Jameson Williams (knee) active and poised to make his NFL debut.

  • Sets up game-winning touchdown

    Kennedy caught one of two targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Kennedy didn't do any damage until there were less than four minutes left in the fourth quarter, when the wideout hauled in a pass on third-and-8 and turned it into a 44-yard gain that set up Detroit's game-winning touchdown. Kennedy has appeared in five games in 2022 but has yet to produce a big stat line despite seeing at least 50 percent of the snaps per contest. Even if Josh Reynolds (back) continues to miss time, Kennedy will not be worthy of much fantasy consideration.

  • Likely to serve as No. 3 receiver

    Kennedy is expected to retain a role as the Lions' No. 3 receiver in Sunday's game against the Bears with Josh Reynolds (back) ruled out for a second consecutive contest, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: During last week's 15-9 win over the Packers, the Lions were without Reynolds and played their first game since trading away top tight end T.J. Hockenson. The absences of Reynolds and Hockenson created opportunities for Kennedy and multiple other pass catchers to step into expanded roles behind No. 1 target Amon-Ra St. Brown, but none was able to deliver a notable fantasy performance. Kennedy ended up serving as the No. 3 wideout behind St. Brown and Kalif Raymond and was on the field for 67…read more

  • Blanked by Patriots

    Kennedy failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 29-0 loss to New England.

    Analysis: With Amon-Ra St. Brown back in a limited capacity from an ankle sprain, Kennedy saw a little less playing time than last week but still logged over half of the offensive snaps. However, like the rest of his teammates not named Josh Reynolds, Kennedy wasn't able to produce much. With St. Brown back and DJ Chark (ankle) potentially returning in the near future, Kennedy could easily go back to being a healthy scratch when the Lions come out of their Week 6 bye.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Lions signed Kennedy to the active roster from their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: With Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle) both ruled out, Kennedy was elevated to the active roster for the team's Week 4 loss to the Seahawks. Quintez Cephus (foot) had to leave the game early, so Kennedy ended up handling a significant workload, catching three of five targets for 54 yards. The statuses of St. Brown, Chark and Cephus for Week 5 remain unclear, but Detroit will add Kennedy to its active roster as insurance and will be confident thrusting him into game action after his…read more

  • Bumped down to practice squad

    Kennedy reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Kennedy got the bump up to the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Seahawks with Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark both out with ankle injuries. The 26-year-old ultimately handled a significant workload after Quintez Cephus suffered an in-game foot injury. Kennedy ended up seeing five targets, bringing in three of them for 54 yards. Depending on the status of St. Brown, Chark and Cephus for Week 5 against the Patriots, Kennedy may earn another elevation to the active roster.

  • Joins amidst injuries

    Kennedy was elevated to the Lions' active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: The Lions announced DJ Chark (ankle) would be unavailable Saturday as the wide receiver joins an alarmingly long list of Lions star players unable to suit up for Sunday's contest. Kennedy had some fun moments toward the end of the 2021 season, including three separate games with at least two targets, but expect the slot receiver to factor in sparingly with Josh Reynolds (ankle), Kalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus soaking up the majority of the wide receiver snaps.

  • Gets practice squad chance

    The Lions signed Kennedy to the practice squad Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Kennedy's strong preseason with Detroit earns him a chance to continue developing with the team. He suited up for 12 games with the Lions last season, in which span he secured six of 10 targets for 54 yards.

  • Waived by Lions

    Kennedy was waived by the Lions on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Like last year, Kennedy put together another strong preseason, but this time around he won't survive roster cuts. The Lions seem set to roll with Kalif Raymond at punt returner and Godwin Igwebuike at kick returner, leaving Kennedy without a spot on special teams in which he could have earned his keep. However, Kenndy's preseason production could earn him a look from another team, and the Lions at least gave him the courtesy of a head start to find a new home ahead of Tuesday's roster deadline.

  • Comes back to Earth

    Kennedy caught three of six targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Kennedy again saw plenty of volume, so his relatively low production was disappointing after he racked up both a 100-yard and a multi-touchdown game in Weeks 1 and 2 of the preseason, respectively. While he's a candidate to survive roster cuts nonetheless, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Kennedy presumably would be entering the year buried on the depth chart and will need to impress in order to stick around once Jameson Williams (knee) is ready to go.

  • Keeps rolling with two TDs

    Kennedy caught five of seven targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 27-26 preseason win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Kennedy scored from five yards out on the final play of the first half and found the end zone again on a 10-yard catch in the third quarter. Between this effort and his 104-yard outing against Atlanta in the preseason opener, Kennedy has certainly bolstered his chances of making the Lions' roster. He'll get one more chance to make his case when the Lions travel to Pittsburgh on Aug. 28 for their preseason finale.

  • Tops century mark

    Kennedy racked up 104 yards on eight receptions during Friday's preseason game against Atlanta.

    Analysis: Kennedy saw over three quarters of action thanks to the absences of Quintez Cephus (leg) and Josh Johnson (undisclosed). While the 26-year-old Bryant product still sits on the roster bubble, Kennedy could not have made a better case for a back-end roster spot as Detroit assesses its backups in the continued absence of Jameson Williams (knee) - especially given the lack of depth at slot receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown. It is possible that Kennedy could again see considerable snaps in the next…read more

  • Gets new deal

    Kennedy signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Monday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Kennedy appeared in 12 games with Detroit last season, recording six catches on 10 targets for 54 yards. The 25-year-old has been in-and-out of the Lions' organization since 2019 and has yet to make an impact. He'll work to change that in 2022.

  • Throws long TD in season finale

    Kennedy caught two of two targets for 16 yards while completing his only pass for 75 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-30 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Kennedy finished a distant fourth among Lions receivers in offensive snaps but made his mark on a trick play when he hit Kalif Raymond for a long touchdown pass in the first quarter. However, the 5-foot-10 slot receiver didn't do much else, and he will finish the 2021 campaign with six catches on 10 targets for 54 receiving yards. The soon-to-be exclusive-rights free agent will now enter the offseason with a decent chance to return to a depth role for Detroit in 2022.

  • No catches on three targets

    Kennedy saw three targets but did not record a catch during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Kennedy was in line for an expanded role with both Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds on the COVID-19 list. While he logged a season-high 24 offensive snaps, Kennedy clearly was the fourth receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, KhaDarel Hodge and Trinity Benson. With his playing time only set to decrease should Raymond or Reynolds gain medical clearance in the coming week, Kennedy will not be an advisable fantasy option when Detroit hosts Green Bay in Week 18.

  • Expanded role likely awaits

    Kennedy is expected to see an increased role within Detroit's receiving corps Sunday against the Seahawks with both Josh Reynolds (illness) and Kalif Raymond (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown and running backs D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams are probably the safest bets to earn targets from quarterback Tim Boyle, but the likes of Kennedy, KhaDarel Hodge, Trinity Benson and Javon McKinley could all see increased snaps with two starting receivers out of the lineup. Kennedy led the quartet with a 31 percent snap share and two targets in the Week 16 loss to Atlanta, so he's probably the most likely candidate of that group to produce a useful stat line.

  • Elevated by Lions

    Kennedy was elevated from the Lions' practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Kennedy appeared in four games earlier in the year and secured one of two targets for 15 yards. He's unlikely to have a significant fantasy impact Sunday.

  • Joins Detroit's practice squad

    Kennedy was signed to the Lions' practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Kennedy was waived by the Lions on Monday, but he has returned to Detroit's organization as a member of the practice squad. The 25-year-old wideout has appeared in five games during his NFL career, catching just one of two targets for 15 yards.

  • Waived by Detroit

    Kennedy was waived by the Lions on Monday.

    Analysis: Kennedy appeared in four games for the Lions this season, registering one catch for 15 yards. The 25-year-old will have to look for a new opportunity after being a part of Detroit's organization since 2019.

  • One target against Eagles

    Kennedy was targeted once but did not record a catch during Sunday's 44-6 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Kennedy drew his second target of the season but was unable to do anything with it.

  • Gets snaps on offense

    Kennedy logged nine offensive snaps during Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: With Quintez Cephus (collarbone) joining Tyrell Williams (concussion) on injured reserve, Kennedy and Geronimo Allison have gotten some playing time the past two games while Trinity Benson has been a healthy scratch.

  • Healthy scratch again

    Kennedy was inactive for Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Kennedy was a healthy scratch despite the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion).

  • Logs handful of offensive snaps

    Kennedy logged four offensive snaps during Monday's 35-17 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: After being a healthy scratch in last week's season opener, Kennedy was active in Week 2 thanks to the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion). However, Kennedy probably won't be suiting up in Week 3 if Williams can clear concussion protocol in time for Sunday's matchup with Baltimore.

  • Healthy scratch

    Kennedy was inactive for Sunday's 41-33 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: While Kennedy was a healthy scratch, he could see playing time in Week 2 if Tyrell Williams (undisclosed) is forced to miss time.

  • Survives roster cuts

    Kennedy has a spot on the regular-season roster, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Despite a strong preseason showing, there was doubt Kennedy would make the team after Detroit acquired Trinity Benson from Denver earlier in the day. However, it appears Kennedy will stick around to contribute as a return man on special teams as well as a depth option at receiver.

  • Racking up stats

    Kennedy caught four of four targets for 61 yards during Saturday's preseason loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Kennedy led the Lions in receiving for the second consecutive preseason game. With Detroit likely to rest most of its starters in the preseason finale next Friday against the Colts, Kennedy could see even more work.

    Published: Sun, Aug 22 at 1:42pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Signs future deal

    Kennedy signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Kennedy has spent the better part of his first two NFL seasons with the Lions, although he's suited up in just one game. The 24-year-old wideout will vie for a depth role in 2021.

    Published: Tue, Jan 5 at 1:52pm by Rotowire.com

  • Cut by Lions

    The Lions signed Kennedy to the practice squad Sunday.

    Analysis: Kennedy had a solid training camp but ultimately came up short of making the active roster, as the team decided to only retain six wideouts. He'll remain with the club as a member of the practice squad for the time being.
