Lions' Tom Kennedy: Limited offensive workload in win
Kennedy did not garner a target while recording 120 yards on kickoff returns and 21 yards on punt returns in Thursday's 44-30 win over Dallas.
Kennedy was set to operate in a more significant role on offense due to Amon-Ra St. Brown trending toward sitting with an ankle injury, but St. Brown was ultimately able to play. As a result, Kennedy's offensive snaps dropped to five total in Week 14, a significantly smaller figure than the 41 snaps on offense he logged Thanksgiving against Green Bay. The wide receiver has filled in admirably for Kalif Raymond (ankle) as a return specialist for Detroit over the last two weeks, compiling 201 kickoff return yards and 42 yards on punt returns. Whenever Raymond is able to return, Kennedy, who was signed to the active roster prior to Week 13 action, may become a healthy scratch on game days.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Four grabs in loss to Green Bay
Kennedy caught all four of his targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers. He added 102 total return yards on three kickoff and one punt return.
Brought up from the practice squad for the second time this season with Kalif Raymond (ankle) sidelined but actually active this time around, Kennedy got thrust into a bigger offensive role than expected after Amon-Ra St. Brown left the game in the first quarter and didn't return due to an ankle injury of his own. The four grabs were a career high for Kennedy, who came into the contest with a 14-195-0 line on 26 targets over 24 NFL games, all with Detroit. St. Brown could end up missing another week or two, per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, which could land Kennedy in a regular spot in three-wide sets alongside Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa in a Week 14 clash with the Cowboys.
