Mychal Kendricks‘ tumultuous season will end on a down note. The Seahawks linebacker suffered a broken tibia on Monday night and will miss the rest of the season, sources tell ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (Twitter link). Kendricks will be placed on injured reserve this week, opening up a spot on the 53-man roster. 
Kendricks, of course, has bigger things to worry about than football. After pleading guilty to federal insider trading charges, Kendricks will face sentencing in January. He faces between 30 and 37 months in prison, meaning that Monday night’s game could mark his last in the NFL. If he is imprisoned for the full 37 months, he’ll be 31 years old at the time of his release and three years removed from the game.
Kendricks made his Seahawks debut in Week 2 against the Bears, but after some back-and-forth with the league, he was hit with an eight-game suspension in October. His 2018 season ends with 20 tackles and two sacks over the course of four games.
The loss of Kendricks stings for Seattle as they’ll have a thinner group of LBs to draw from in the playoffs. Moving forward, they project to start Barkevious Mingo, Bobby Wagner, and K.J. Wright, assuming that Wright’s knee is stable enough to play. Late round rookies Jake Martin and Shaquem Griffin are also on hand to sub in at outside linebacker and Villanova product Austin Calitro can contribute in the middle.
Trump will pardon him!

We’ll be fine w/o Kendrycks- Jake Martin showed electric speed on an athletic move to force Cousins to fumble on the Coleman TD. Calitro has looked good but needs to be a little more consistent. We’ve played more than half the season w/o MK. Its our secondary I’m worried about. If Tre and Shaq can make tackles like they did last night we’ll be just fine back there. Wrap em’ up boys
Calitro started on the outside until Kendrick’s came back so I’d imagine he will again. Assuming KJ is still out like most of season
“…..Shaquem Griffin are also on HAND to sub in…”
I see what you did there.
Cowboys are going to win regardless of who’s out there..
Seahawks shouldn’t have let him play. Seahawks fans are hypocrites. They’re all Left Wing Communists who hate America and especially the free market & Wall Street but they bellied up to the bar for Kendricks… The Browns did the right thing by getting rid of him immediately.
Hahaha!
The comments here can be incredibly stupid and simplistic.
Yep, I’m the one the one who forced them to sign and play him. I’m a communist.
