Overview

  • Kendrick was cut last week and returned to the team after clearing waivers.
  • He was selected by the Rams in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Georgia.
  • Kendrick missed the entire 2024 season recovering from a torn ACL sustained in July 2024.
  • Over his first two seasons, he appeared in 32 games with 92 tackles, 14 passes defended and one interception.
  • The move bolsters Los Angeles’s cornerback depth as the team carries over $50 million in dead-cap charges and weighs other veteran options in free agency.
