Tom Kennedy

ANALYSIS
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.

ANALYSIS
Kennedy doesn't have much of a pedigree because he's a 26-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Bryant, but he was highly productive during the preseason, racking up 16 catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Trapasso believes Kennedy would find success lining up in the slot along with Amon-Ra St. Brown for the Lions, but another team also could sign Kennedy off Detroit's practice squad at any time should an opening present itself.
