Mychal Kendricks saw the field for just 19 snaps on Sunday. His 37 percent playing time was the lowest of his career when healthy for an entire game. Even last season when he was part of a linebacker rotation he played more.

“I just got to make due and take advantage of the reps I’m getting,” Kendricks said. “I think it’s natural for any football player who wants to play to be a little frustrated at times when reps are taken back.
