Kennedy was initially waived with an injury designation Friday before being reverted to injured reserve a day later.

Tom Kennedy: Waived with injury designation
Kennedy (upper body) was waived with an injury designation by the Lions on Friday, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.
Kennedy sustained the injury in practice Wednesday when linebacker Jack Campbell fell on him as Kennedy was trying to complete a catch while going to the ground. Twentyman believes Kennedy could return to the team once healthy, but Detroit wanted to free up a roster spot in the meantime to sign fellow wide receiver Trey Quinn.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Lands reserve/future contract
The Lions signed Kennedy to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.
Kennedy accumulated the best stat line of his career over seven games with Detroit this season, catching eight of 15 targets for 141 yards. The 26-year-old has now appeared in 19 regular-season games over the last two years with the Lions, so it's not surprising to see the team wants to keep him around heading into the offseason. Kennedy will look to carve out a bigger role among this well-stocked receiving corps heading into the 2023 campaign.

Tom Kennedy: Sticking with Detroit
The Lions re-signed Kennedy to the practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Kennedy was ruled a healthy scratch in back-to-back weeks before he was waived Saturday ahead of Sunday's win over the Jets. However, the 26-year-old cleared waivers Monday and will return to the Lions' practice squad, where he spent the first four weeks of the season. Kennedy has caught eight of 15 targets for 141 yards over seven games this season, and he should be first in line to be elevated from the practice squad should any of Detroit's wideouts miss time due to injury moving forward.
