Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Kendrick Law is out for the 2026 season after suffering a torn ACL in a non-contact drill during organized team activities.
Law has the build of a running back at 5-11, 203 pounds, and was a fifth-round pick (168th overall) out of Kentucky in the April draft. He opened eyes and boosted his draft stock at the NFL Scouting Combine in February with a 42-inch vertical and 4.45-second 40-yard dash.
Head coach Dan Campbell said losing Law, projected as the No. 5 receiver and primary kickoff returner, will be a setback.
'The kid was doing a good job,' Campbell said Thursday. 'But ... it's part of it. It's a harsh reality. He'll get it out of the way early, have his whole career in front of him.'
Law spent his first three college seasons at Alabama as a Nick Saban recruit and played last season at Kentucky. He had 53 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns for the Wildcats after pulling in 33 total passes in three years with the Crimson Tide.
The Lions signed Greg Dortch to return punts and work into the offense behind Isaac TeSlaa, Jameson Williams and No. 1 receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
