From the article

there were three receivers who dressed that didn't log a snap on special teams against the Bengals: Wilson, Isaac TeSlaa, and Tom Kennedy. While Wilson has 373 special teams snaps under his belt during his seven-year career—playing 138 of those snaps recently in 2024 with the New Orleans Saints—could Detroit be more interested in having a reliable receiver capable of lining up at the X, Y, and Z positions? Does that also speak to Tom Kennedy's chances—another player with special teams experience

Kennedy dressed but saw no snaps; special teams experience aids depth bid.

Kennedy dressed for Detroit's first preseason game but did not log a snap on special teams or offense; he has special teams experience, which could help his chances at locking down one of the two available WR5/6 spots, though his lack of involvement raises questions about his role.
