"Kendricks spent the first eight years of his career with the Vikings before a one-year stint with the Chargers in 2023. He nearly signed in San Francisco during the 2024 offseason before reversing course and joining the Cowboys instead. He started 15 games and led the team with 138 tackles, marking his ninth-straight season with at least 100 tackles. The 33-year-old did not re-sign in Dallas despite a significant late-season injury to DeMarvion Overshown that sidelined him into 2025."
"Kendricks received little interest this offseason and declined an October invitation from the Ravens to join their practice squad. He turned Baltimore down for the same reason he spurned the 49ers last spring: his desire for guaranteed playing time, as opposed to fighting for a starting job or contributing to a rotation. San Francisco been losing defenders left and right this season, including multiple inside linebackers."
Eric Kendricks signed with the 49ers practice squad after eight seasons with the Vikings, a 2023 stint with the Chargers, and a 2024 season with the Cowboys. He started 15 games in 2024 and led the Cowboys with 138 tackles, his ninth straight season with at least 100 tackles. Kendricks received little offseason interest and declined a Ravens practice-squad invitation in October because he wanted guaranteed playing time rather than competing for a starting job. The 49ers have multiple inside linebacker injuries, including season-ending damage to Fred Warner and an expected absence for Tatum Bethune, creating an immediate opportunity. The team released Stone Blanton from the practice squad.
