2026 Projections
Signed a contract with the Lions in November of 2025.
Makes impact late in 2025
Kennedy recorded four receptions for 36 yards across six regular-season games with the Lions in 2025. He also recorded 447 yards on 16 kick returns and 50 yards on three punt returns.
ANALYSIS
Kennedy didn't make the Lions' roster out of training camp, but he did manage to secure a spot on the practice squad. He appeared in the team's final six games due to injuries to the rest of the team's receiving corps, with all of his offensive production coming Week 13. He also served as the primary kick returner for Detroit down the stretch, averaging 27.9 yards on his 16 returns. Kennedy is a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning he can easily be retained by the Lions if they choose to tender him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Best practice squad player?
Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports ranks Kennedy as the best player currently on an NFL practice squad.
ANALYSIS
Kennedy doesn't have much of a pedigree because he's a 26-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Bryant, but he was highly productive during the preseason, racking up 16 catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Trapasso believes Kennedy would find success lining up in the slot along with Amon-Ra St. Brown for the Lions, but another team also could sign Kennedy off Detroit's practice squad at any time should an opening present itself.
