Kennedy

Last year’s first round pick could be on the field during October, weeks ahead of original forecasts.

The first-round pick could return after St. Louis’ week eight bye.

Kennedy recovered quickly from a broken foot suffered during the preseason. He’s reportedly had a good week of practice and had shown improvement during the preseason.

The first-round pick should have an increased role in his second season. He’s a good, young defensive tackle to hold on to for dynasty leagues.

Last year’s first round bust was off to a solid start in training camp. He’ll miss at least three months. This is a tough blow to a Rams defensive line that already lost Grant Wistrom and Bryan Young this offseason.

The big fella, widely regarded as an underachiever since going in the 2003 first round, wrapped it up and played the rest of the game.

Kennedy got a four-game ban for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. The Giants now have a roster exemption to decide if they want to activate him onto their 53-man roster. Kennedy was serving as a rotational run-stopper before the ban.

DT Dwayne Hendricks was waived to make room for him and will likely head back to the practice squad. Kennedy returns to his role as a rotational run-stopper.

The first-round pick broke his foot during the preseason.

The Rams defensive tackle recorded three tackles.
