Overview
- Kendricks practiced during the bye and coaches will use this week’s sessions to decide whether to elevate him for Sunday’s game against the Titans.
- He described San Francisco as a “special” group that keeps fighting through adversity, which he said drew him to the team.
- The 49ers are navigating major linebacker losses, with Fred Warner sidelined by a broken ankle and depth strained behind replacement starter Curtis Robinson.
- Signed to the practice squad on Nov. 26, Kendricks brings All‑Pro credentials and nine straight 100‑tackle seasons, including a team‑high 138 tackles for Dallas last year after which he had shoulder surgery.
- Kyle Shanahan said the club had stayed in touch with Kendricks throughout the year, and reporting indicates he weighed other opportunities before choosing San Francisco.
