  • Finds end zone on Thanksgiving

    TeSlaa caught both of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The rookie had all but disappeared from the game plan, catching just one of four targets for 11 yards over the previous seven games, but TeSlaa got a golden opportunity when Amon-Ra St. Brown left the Thanksgiving game in the first quarter with an ankle injury and didn't return. TeSlaa took advantage, hauling in a 17-yard TD from Jared Goff in the third quarter for his third score of the season on only six receptions. Per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, coach Dan Campbell suggested after the…read more

  • Set to play Thursday

    TeSlaa (hand) is active for Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup against Green Bay.

    Analysis: TeSlaa emerged with a hand injury on Monday's estimated practice report, and he was deemed limited throughout the week. He's ultimately going to be able to play and could be in store for a significant number of offensive snaps with fellow WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) ruled out, per Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site. The Lions' top two tight ends -- Sam LaPorta (back - IR) and Brock Wright (neck) -- also are missing Week 13, which boosts TeSlaa's outlook even more.

  • Questionable for Thursday

    TeSlaa (hand) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Green Bay, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With No. 3 receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) ruled out and TE Sam LaPorta (back) still on injured reserve, TeSlaa has an opportunity for a lot of playing time if he avoids the inactive list Thursday morning. Detroit listed TeSlaa as a limited practice participant Monday through Wednesday, with no mention of the oblique injury that had him on injury reports the previous two weeks.

  • Remains limited Tuesday

    TeSlaa (hand) was again listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.

    Analysis: After battling an oblique issue recently, TeSlaa now has a hand injury. With Kalif Raymond (ankle) posting back-to-back DNPs Monday and Tuesday, TeSlaa could potentially see more snaps Thursday against the Bears. The preseason standout has just four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns across 11 games this season.

  • Limited listing Monday

    TeSlaa (hand) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough.

    Analysis: TeSlaa has played through an oblique injury during Detroit's last two games, but he's now managing just a hand issue in the wake of Sunday's overtime win over the Giants. The rookie third-round pick has drawn exactly one target in each of his last three appearances, though he's logged only one catch for 11 yards in that span. If Kalif Raymond (ankle) is unable to suit up versus the Packers on Thursday, however, TeSlaa will stand to benefit from increased opportunities, health permitting.

  • Available in Week 12

    TeSlaa (oblique) is listed as active Sunday against the Giants.

    Analysis: TeSlaa will play through an oblique injury for a second consecutive contest, but he was limited on all three Week 12 practice reports, so it remains to be seen what kind of workload he'll be able to handle. Having said that, his snap shares have ranged from four to 46 percent through 10 appearances as a pro, and he's been targeted more than once in just one game. As a result, TeSlaa is unlikely to make much of an impact in the Lions' receiving corps.

  • Deemed questionable for Week 12

    TeSlaa (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: TeSlaa was limited in all three practices this week as he continues to work through an oblique injury. The issue first popped up last weekend, and TeSlaa was still able to play Sunday versus Philadelphia, so there's reason to be optimistic that he'll suit up. Even if TeSlaa does play, he probably won't be heavily involved, as the rookie has seen more than one target just once through 10 games this season.

  • Limited again Thursday

    TeSlaa (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: TeSlaa was also limited during Wednesday's walkthrough practice. He managed to play through his oblique injury Week 11 and contribute in his usual depth role, but unless TeSlaa manages to upgrade to full practice reps Friday, he figures to carry an injury designation into Sunday's home matchup against the Giants.

  • Logs limited practice

    TeSlaa (oblique) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: TeSlaa managed to play through his oblique injury during Detroit's loss to the Eagles in Week 11, but the injury continues to linger ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants. Of course, given that TeSlaa has yet to log a single game with multiple catches yet this season, he won't be on the radar for fantasy consideration in the majority of formats even if healthy for Week 12.

  • Barely utilized during SNF

    TeSlaa failed to catch his only target in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: TeSlaa and the rest of the pass catchers for the Lions had a rough time getting going with quarterback Jared Goff completing just 14 of his 37 pass attempts. TeSlaa has high potential, but he's yet to have a multi-catch performance this season, and the wide receiver now has reeled in just one pass over the last five games combined. The 23-year-old logged 20 snaps on offense Sunday, and his highest total of the year was 25 offensive snaps Week 6 against the Chiefs, limiting his overall upside…read more

  • Suiting up in Week 11

    TeSlaa (oblique) is listed as active Sunday at Philadelphia.

    Analysis: TeSlaa avoided the Lions' Week 11 injury report until Saturday, when he was added to it as questionable due to an oblique issue. It won't stop him from being available for Sunday's game, but through nine appearances to begin his career, the rookie third-rounder has just a 4-65-2 line on seven targets. As a result, TeSlaa will need to take advantage of the one or two looks he may receive from QB Jared Goff in Week 11.

  • Late addition to injury report

    The Lions added TeSlaa (oblique) to the injury report Saturday and have listed him as questionable for Sunday's road matchup against the Eagles, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: TeSlaa has enjoyed a healthy rookie season to date, as his only prior appearance on the injury report came due to an illness Week 1, which he managed to play through. Now, though, it's possible his status for Sunday Night Football will come down to the wire. The issue could also negatively impact TeSlaa's odds of getting more involved on offense Week 11, even if he manages to tough it out. He did bump up to a 29-percent snap share on offense during the Lions' win over Washington in Week 10,…read more

  • One catch in win

    TeSlaa caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.

    Analysis: TeSlaa was expected to be more involved on offense in Week 10, and he did play 19 offensive snaps, which was 16 higher than Week 9 and his highest amount since Week 6. Although he did see more action, the wide receiver was still unable to record the first multi-catch performance of his career. TeSlaa will look to get more involved moving forward, starting Week 11 against the Eagles.

  • Could see more involvement

    Lions offensive coordinator John Morton said Thursday that he's hopeful to find ways to get TeSlaa the football more frequently in future games, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Morton's comments came after the rookie third-round pick matched a season low by playing just three snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings. The 6-foot-4, 214-pound TeSlaa has put his immense athleticism on display with touchdown receptions in Weeks 1 and 2, but he has just three total catches on the season and will need to see his snap counts pick up in order for the Lions to take full advantage of his physical gifts.

  • Blanks in Week 9

    TeSlaa played just three of the Lions' 62 offensive snaps and went without a target in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout from Arkansas logged his fewest offensive snaps since the Week 1 loss to the Packers and went without a reception for the third consecutive game Sunday. Across eight appearances this season, TeSlaa has caught three of six targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns. He's expected to continue operating as the Lions' No. 4 wideout in the Week 10 matchup against the Commanders.

  • Limited action during MNF

    TeSlaa failed to reel in his only target in Monday night's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: TeSlaa played just nine offensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 1, and he failed to bring in a potential 15-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff in the first quarter. The wide receiver remains the No. 4 option at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond heading into the team's Week 8 bye. TeSlaa has caught three of six targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns over seven contests so far this year.

  • Blanked in Week 6

    TeSlaa didn't garner a target in Sunday night's 30-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: TeSlaa played a season-high 25 snaps on offense, but he didn't see a target for the second time in three weeks. The wide receiver continues to be a non-factor from a fantasy perspective this season, operating as a depth option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Through six games, TeSlaa has caught three of five targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Finds paydirt in Week 5

    TeSlaa caught his only target for a 12-yard touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: TeSlaa wasn't a major part of the offense again in Week 5, but he was able to make the most of his only opportunity, reeling in a 12-yard score in the fourth quarter. Fellow wide receiver Kalif Raymond suffered a neck injury in the second quarter of the contest, and he was unable to return to the game. If Raymond is forced to miss any action moving forward, TeSlaa would likely see an uptick in workload behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams as the team's No. 3 option at wideout.

  • Limited workload in Week 4

    TeSlaa did not garner a target in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: TeSlaa played just 11 offensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 1, and he failed to see a target for the first time this season. Head coach Dan Campbell said that the wide receiver would see an increase in workload on offense after he caught a 13-yard touchdown in the team's 27-13 loss to Green Bay on Sept. 7, but TeSlaa has still been an afterthought for Detroit over the last three weeks. Unless something drastically changes with the Lions' operation, TeSlaa will continue to have a rather…read more

  • Blanked in Week 3

    TeSlaa failed to catch either of his targets in Monday's 38-30 win the Ravens.

    Analysis: TeSlaa was limited to 14 offensive snaps in Week 3, which was three less than the week prior, but the two targets were a season high. The rookie wide receiver has caught two of four targets for 42 yards over the first three games of the year, and TeSlaa is still firmly below Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams on the WR depth chart despite the flashes of upside he's shown.

  • Secures impressive catch in victory

    TeSlaa caught his only target for 29 yards in Sunday's 52-21 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: TeSlaa was expected to see an increase in workload with the offense Week 2, and he saw his offensive snap count rise from three snaps in Week 1 to 17 against Chicago on Sunday. The wide receiver once again provided a highlight reel catch, securing a leaping one-handed snag up the sideline for 29 yards to get the Lions inside the five-yard line with less than 20 seconds left in the first half. Through two games in 2025, TeSlaa has made two acrobatic catches on the two targets he's garnered, and…read more

  • Role will increase

    Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday that the team plans for TeSlaa, who played just three offensive snaps during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Packers, to get more opportunities going forward, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: TeSlaa flashed in his limited opportunities Week 1, scoring a highlight reel 13-yard touchdown on his lone target with 55 seconds left in the loss. Campbell indicated that part of the reason for TeSlaa's low snap count can be attributed to the illness that limited his practice activity heading into the matchup against Green Bay. The rookie third-rounder figures to see increased playing time immediately Week 2 against the Bears, though it could take time before he's given a true opportunity to…read more

  • Secures acrobatic TD

    TeSlaa reeled in his only target for a 13-yard touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: TeSlaa made the most of his only opportunity Sunday, going up the ladder to snag a 13-yard score with 55 seconds remaining in the game. The rookie finished behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (six), Jameson Williams (five) and Kalif Raymond (three) in targets at his position, but he was the only one to reach the end zone. The Packers' defense was rather stingy in Week 1, and TeSlaa may have an easier path to production in Week 2 against the Bears, who will be playing on short rest after their matchup with…read more

  • Gets green light for Week 1

    TeSlaa (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

    Analysis: He returned to full practice participation Friday after being listed as limited the previous two days. The rookie third-round pick scored three touchdowns during the preseason, and he should have a role in the Lions' Week 1 offense after they traded Tim Patrick to Jacksonville last week -- a move seemingly linked to TeSlaa's accelerated development. In any case, Kalif Raymond is the remaining competition for whatever WR snaps don't go to standouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

  • Limited in Thursday's session

    TeSlaa (illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: After the Lions gauged him as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, TeSlaa returned to the field Thursday, though it didn't translate to an upgrade in terms of how the team listed the extent of his activity. In any case, the rookie wideout is expected to be ready to make his NFL debut Sunday in Green Bay, though he'll probably need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend.

  • Comes down with illness

    TeSlaa was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report due to an illness.

    Analysis: A third-round pick in this year's draft, TeSlaa suited up in all three of the Lions' preseason games and made an impact in each one, racking up eight catches (on 10 targets) for 100 yards and three touchdowns along the way. Last Wednesday, Detroit's receiving corps became less cluttered when the team traded Tim Patrick to the Jaguars, which allowed TeSlaa to move up the depth chart. Still, TeSlaa will be vying for WR reps with Kalif Raymond behind the top duo of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson…read more

  • Climbs depth chart

    TeSlaa's strong performance in training camp and the preseason contributed to Detroit's decision to trade Tim Patrick to the Jaguars in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Lions coach Dan Campbell said after the Lions' preseason finale 26-7 loss to Houston, in which TeSlaa caught both his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown, that the 2025 third-round pick is "going to have some growing pains" but that "we're very pleased with where he's at after six weeks of camp" and "if you took most receivers, he'd be in the upper echelon of those, as far as development" at this stage of his rookie season. Patrick operated as the No. 3 receiver for Detroit much of last…read more

  • Another impressive preseason TD

    TeSlaa caught both his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-7 preseason loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: The 2025 third-round pick wrapped up his dazzling preseason with another big play, connecting with Kyle Allen on a 33-yard TD strike late in the first quarter. TeSlaa has done everything possible to lock up a spot on the 53-man roster, and while he may begin the season as the No. 5 wideout, his trajectory to begin his career suggests it may not be long before he surpasses veterans Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond to claim the No. 3 role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

  • Scores again Saturday

    TeSlaa secured four of five targets for 41 yards and one touchdown during the Lions' 24-17 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday.

    Analysis: TeSlaa has now hit paydirt in back-to-back preseason contests, and he impressed similarly in Detroit's exhibition opener against the Chargers in the Hall of Fame Game on July 31, securing two of three targets for 46 scoreless yards. It's fair to say that the rookie third-round pick has build significant momentum throughout training camp and the preseason. TeSlaa will have one more chance to impress in exhibition action next Saturday versus the Texans, as he works to push Tim Patrick and Kalif…read more

  • Hits pay dirt Friday

    TeSlaa had two receptions on three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason game in Atlanta.

    Analysis: TeSlaa followed up a strong preseason debut (2-46-0) with his first touchdown grab as a member of the Lions. The third-round rookie has built a good rapport with backup QB Kyle Allen through two exhibitions, with the duo producing 57 yards and a touchdown in less than four combined quarters of action so far. TeSlaa's size (6-foot-4, 214 pounds) and athleticism make him an intriguing prospect in a crowded Detroit receiver room. The rookie will look to continue impressing his coaching staff when…read more

  • Makes impact with both catches

    TeSlaa brought in two of three targets for 46 yards during the Lions' 34-7 preseason loss to the Chargers in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round pick flashed with both of his receptions, which came on consecutive plays during the Lions' third possession. TeSlaa recorded catches of 24 and 22 yards over the middle from Kyle Allen, flashing the speed and athleticism that prompted the Lions to make a somewhat controversial trade up in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft to select him. The Arkansas product is looking to make a case for a reliable reserve role in a talented receiving corps, and he should have plenty…read more
