Either Casey Matthews or Emmanuel Acho will start at linebacker in Kendricks' absence.
Kendricks, 23, was the Eagles' second-round pick in the 2012 NFL draft. He was second on the team in tackles last season with 137 and is leading the team so far this season with 13.
The Eagles (2-0) are hosting Washington (1-1) in the first NFC East game for both teams.
