Derion Kendrick Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Rams signed cornerback Derion Kendrick on Tuesday, according to Wyatt Miller of TheRams.com. The team released Kendrick last week, but he's now back with the organization after clearing waivers. The 2022 sixth-round pick out of Georgia has spent all of his young NFL career with the Rams, collecting 92 tackles (77 solo), one interception, 14 pass deflections, and one run stuff in 32 games. He missed all of last season due to a torn ACL in training camp. Assuming he's healthy, he'll have the chance to compete for a depth spot with Cobie Durant, Emmanuel Forbes Jr., and Josh Wallace.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed at training camp on Thursday that reserve cornerback Derion Kendrick (knee) suffered a torn ACL this week at practice. Kendrick will now be forced to miss the entire 2024 season after getting hurt in the first practice session this summer. The 23-year-old entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick (212th overall) by the Rams in 2022. In his first two seasons, he recorded 92 tackles (77 solo), one interception and 14 pass breakups in 32 games (18 starts). LA's secondary is a beat bit up already early in camp, as Darious Williams is also dealing with a hamstring injury early on. Tre'Davious White is also an injury risk after suffering serious injuries to his knee and Achilles the last two years.

According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Rams fear Derion Kendrick (knee) suffered a torn ACL at the start of training camp. The former sixth-round pick is expected to start for L.A. in 2024, so this is a troubling development for the team and the 23-year-old defensive back. Since entering the league in 2022, Kendrick has racked up 92 tackles, one interception, and 14 pass deflections in 32 games. The two-time College Football Playoff National Champion will likely miss the entire 2024 campaign if additional testing confirms the initial diagnosis of a torn ACL, which could open the door for veteran Tre'Davious White to play a more significant role in his first season with the Rams.
