49ers' 27-20 win over the
Giants on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 9:30 p.m. ET.
The Giants were granted a roster exemption for Kennedy that expires Nov. 21, though the team can activate him sooner.
If the Giants want Kennedy to play Sunday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, they'll have to make room for him on their 53-man roster.
Free-agent linebacker Brandon Lang also has been suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for a period of at least one year, according to a league source.

Boley pulled his hamstring late during the first half of Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and Ross has a thigh bruise. ... Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Monday that it was uncertain if RB Ahmad Bradshaw would play against the Eagles. He has missed the last two games with a broken bone in his foot.
