Mychal Kendricks sentenced to one day in jail, three years' probation in insider trading case

Free-agent linebacker Mychal Kendricks was sentenced Thursday to one day in jail, three years of probation and 300 hours of community service as a result of his 2018 guilty plea to insider trading charges.

The sentence, handed down by Judge Gene Pratter in the United States District Court's Eastern District of Pennsylvania, came after numerous postponements.

Kendricks' agent, Doug Hendrickson, told ESPN that the linebacker is serving his one-day jail sentence Thursday. Hendrickson said that not knowing what kind of sentence to expect made it a "very emotional day" for Kendricks.

"Clearly, Mychal is very happy with the outcome and he's ready to continue playing football for someone," Hendrickson said.
