Tom Kennedy — Injured Reserve
Kennedy suffered a season-ending MCL injury in his right knee during the Lions' Week 5 win over the Cardinals. His move to IR opens a spot on Detroit's 53-man roster, and in his absence, Jacob Saylors is in line to take over return duties on kickoffs and punts.
Tom Kennedy — Out
Kennedy sustained the knee injury while returning a punt during the second quarter of Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals. The veteran wide receiver is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but he'll nonetheless shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the 2027 season. Jacob Saylors will take over return duties on kickoffs and may also work as a returner on punts, given the Lions' hesitation to use Amon-Ra St. Brown in a full-time capacity in that role, per Bianchi.
Tom Kennedy — Out
Kennedy suffered the injury early in the second quarter on a punt return for 11 yards. He was spotted on crutches following Sunday's contest, and further tests revealed that the MCL injury is significant enough for Kennedy to undergo season-ending surgery. He'll shift his focus toward rehab in the hopes that he's fully healthy for the start of the 2027 season, though he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. In Kennedy's absence, Jacob Saylors figures to take over return duties on kickoffs, although whether the Lions go with star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown or another option on punt returns remains to be seen.
Tom Kennedy — Questionable
Kennedy suffered a right knee injury in the second quarter and was wearing a brace as he departed the stadium Sunday. The wide receiver appears to be set to miss action moving forward, and his absence will mostly impact the team's special-teams unit.
Tom Kennedy — Questionable
Kennedy suffered a knee injury early in the second quarter and was evaluated for it. The injury is significant enough to keep the wide receiver out of the entire second half, leaving Amon-Ra St. Brown to take over return duties in his stead.
Tom Kennedy — Questionable
Kennedy suffered a knee injury on a punt return early in the second quarter, and almost every Lion was down on one knee as the medical staff tended to him, per Richard Silva of The Detroit News. The wide receiver seems unlikely to be available for the rest of the contest, and in his absence, Amon-Ra St. Brown has taken over as Detroit's primary punt returner.
