Lions Rookie WR Kendrick Law Out for Season with ACL Tear
4 Jun
Summary
- Kendrick Law suffered a torn ACL during OTAs.
- Law was a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions.
- He will miss his entire rookie season due to the injury.
The Detroit Lions' 2026 rookie class has suffered a significant setback. Wide receiver Kendrick Law sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that will sideline him for his entire debut NFL season. Head coach Dan Campbell delivered the news during a media session held before the second week of organized team activities.
Law was a fifth-round pick in the recent draft, with general manager Brad Holmes orchestrating a trade to secure the former Kentucky Wildcats receiver. A scouting report noted Law's strong hands and ability to gain yards after the catch, though his route running was considered limited.
The Lions have a competitive wide receiver room, featuring other young talents like second-year players Dominic Lovett and Jackson Meeks, who will now have increased opportunities to prove their value.
