2026 Lions season preview: Isaac TeSlaa’s time to shine is now
Wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa is poised for a bigger role in the 2026 Lions season after a 2025 campaign where he appeared in every game but started just three times. Though he caught 16 passes for 239 yards and six touchdowns last year, he impressed coaches with reliable hands and consistency despite limited opportunities. With the Lions moving on from veteran receiver Kalif Raymond and bringing in complementary options, TeSlaa is now the clear third option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Head coach Dan Campbell has praised his steady growth and maturity, suggesting he may have deserved even more playing time in 2025. The expectation is that with increased snaps and touches in 2026, TeSlaa could break 500 receiving yards and establish himself as a dependable part of Detroit's loaded offensive arsenal.
