Rams' Derion Kendrick: Missing time with hamstring injury
Kendrick (hamstring) has been absent from practices, The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue reports.
Coach Sean McVay said Kendrick is "making good progress," per Rodrigue, but a timetable for return is unclear. In a Jalen Ramsey-less cornerback room, Kendrick is competing for a starting job this summer. A sixth-round pick last year, Kendrick appeared in 15 games as a rookie, making six starts and playing 50 percent of the defensive snaps.

Rams' Derion Kendrick: Season-best outing Week 13
Kendrick recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.
Kendrick played every defensive snap for the first time since Week 8 with starting cornerback Troy Hill ruled out with a groin injury against Seattle. The rookie cornerback has stepped up into a starting role numerous times in the Rams' banged-up secondary this season. However, this marked Kendrick's first career double-digit tackle performance, and he also paced the team in stops during this tough divisional loss. Kendrick should start again if Hill remains sidelined against Las Vegas on Thursday Night Football.

Rams' Derion Kendrick: Clears concussion protocol
Kendrick has cleared concussion protocol and is available for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Kendrick logged full practice sessions both Friday and Saturday and has shed his status on the injury report as a result. He made his professional debut in Week 3 and logged a 90 percent snap rate with David Long (groin) sidelined. Long has already been ruled out for Week 4, so Kendrick should see a significant role once again.

Rams' Derion Kendrick: Logs full practice
Kendrick (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Rams' Derion Kendrick: Remains in protocols
Kendrick (concussion) will log a limited practice Thursday, although he is still in concussion protocols, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Kendrick is "making great progress," according to head coach Sean McVay, which Manzano notes in his tweet. He suffered the injury in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals and his status for Monday night's game against the 49ers remains questionable. If he can get fully cleared through concussion protocols, he should be able to suit up versus San Francisco.

Rams' Derion Kendrick: Still in concussion protocol
Kendrick suffered a concussion during Sunday's win over the Cardinals, but coach Sean McVay is cautiously optimistic about his status for Week 4, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Kendrick handled an increased role Sunday since several of the team's other cornerbacks were banged up, but the rookie sixth-rounder had to leave the game in the fourth quarter. He'll have one extra day to clear protocols as the Rams next matchup is against the 49ers on Monday night.

Rams' Derion Kendrick: Being evaluated for concussion
Kendrick is being evaluated for a concussion following the Rams' 20-12 win over the Cardinals on Sunday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Kendrick handled an increased role Sunday since several of the team's other cornerbacks were banged up, but the rookie sixth-rounder sustained a head injury of his own in the fourth quarter. If he's ultimately diagnosed with a concussion, he'll have several steps to clear if he hopes to play next Monday against San Francisco.

Rams' Derion Kendrick: Joins growing secondary in LA
The Rams selected Kendrick in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 212nd overall.
Kendrick marks the fourth secondary piece added by the Rams over the past two days. A five-star wide receiver recruit out of high school, Kendrick transitioned to corner his sophomore season before ultimately transferring from Clemson to Georgia last year. The redshirt senior was a dynamic player and immediate starter on Georgia's championship defense, but he's been an inconsistent player across his entire collegiate career and profiles more as a depth secondary piece at the NFL level.
