42 Devon Kennard OLB

Kennard (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game at Arizona, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Kennard will miss his first game of the season after suffering the hip injury last week against the Rams. Eli Harold should see a heavier workload at linebacker for the Lions in his absence.

Kennard (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Kennard suffered the hip injury last week against the Rams and was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday. Eli Harold would be called upon for a greater defensive role if Kennard is unable to play at Arizona.

Kennard (hip) did not practice Wednesday.

Kennard suffered a hip injury during Sunday's loss to the Rams. If Kennard is unable to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 14, Eli Harold will once again slot into the starting lineup.

Kennard is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to a hip injury, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

Eli Harold will draw the start at left inside linebacker as long as Kennard remains sidelined.

Kennard tallied four tackles and a sack during Sunday's 20-19 victory over Carolina.

On pace for 56 tackles and almost 10 sacks, Kennard continues to make the Lions look good for handing the linebacker a three-year, $17 million contract over the offseason. With defensive end Ziggy Ansah healthy and middle linebacker Jarrad Davis also showing progress in the pass-rush department, the Detroit defense -- which now sits ninth in the league with 28 sacks -- should have no problem continuing to cause problems for opposing offenses down the stretch.
