Isaac TeSlaa's One-Handed TD Stands on Review in Lions' Opener

Dan Campbell says the rookie's workload will increase after an illness limited his Week 1 preparation.

Overview

  • The third-round receiver secured a diving 13-yard touchdown with 55 seconds left in Green Bay, his first NFL catch.
  • Officials initially ruled the play incomplete, but replay showed both feet inbounds and the touchdown was awarded.
  • TeSlaa played three offensive snaps and was targeted once on Jared Goff's 39 attempts, adding nine snaps on special teams.
  • Campbell said the team kept TeSlaa's role light due to a recent illness and plans to start getting him more offensive reps.
  • The score was Detroit's lone touchdown in a 27-13 loss as the offense managed 246 yards, with the grab drawing 'catch of the year' buzz and Odell Beckham Jr. comparisons.
