Regarding Kendricks - It wasn't a big injury, and he only "missed" four games, but he was out for a long time. The injury happened mid September and he didn't start again until November. I think he missed a game the previous year from another minor injury, but no, he hasn't had consistent injury problems.
The speculation of trade is mostly over the fact that Chip is perceived to be a size queen. Kiko is 6'3, 240. Meco is 6'1 250. Backups Acho (6'2, 240), Goode (6'0, 244), Hepburn (6'4, 235), Brad Jones (6'3, 240), Long (6'4, 255 - began as an OLB tho.) Kendricks is 6'0, 240. Mychal and Goode don't really fit the trend there, but Chip did waive Acho to acquire Goode back when he first took over the team, so it's up for debate how much he really lets height/length determine his moves. The pattern is still obvious tho.
As for Peterson... I really hope he plays for the Vikes just so I don't see him in a Dallas uniform.
