Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Kendrick Law tore his ACL during Tuesday's organized team activity practice in a noncontact drill. Head coach Dan Campbell confirmed the injury Thursday and said Law will miss the entire season.
Injury details Law was selected in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL draft out of Kentucky after the Lions traded up 13 spots to acquire him. The injury occurred in Allen Park, Michigan.
Player background Law recorded a 42-inch vertical jump and led Kentucky in receiving yards last season with 540, including 511 yards after the catch. He transferred to Kentucky in 2025 after beginning his college career at Alabama.
Coach's comments
“Harsh reality, but he'll get it out of the way early, have his whole career in front of him. Hate to start with that, that's a bit of a negative, but everybody else is doing good. Everybody else is improving.”
Campbell added that the team is otherwise progressing well in training camp activities.
