Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Kendrick Law will miss the entire 2026 NFL season after suffering a torn ACL during the team's Organized Team Activity (OTA) practices this week, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN.
The injury occurred during practice sessions as the team was ramping up its offseason program. Law, a fifth-round selection out of Alabama, was expected to compete for a depth role in the Lions' receiving corps and contribute on special teams during his debut campaign. The loss of the rookie is a significant blow to Detroit's depth chart as they prepare for training camp.
Law was highly regarded for his versatility and speed coming out of college, and his absence will force the Lions to look toward other young talent to fill the void. The team has not yet released an official statement regarding the surgery schedule, but a torn ACL typically requires a recovery period of nine to twelve months, effectively ending his season before it began.
