Overview
- TeSlaa hauled in a 29-yard, one-handed sideline grab in the closing seconds of the second quarter against Chicago, securing the catch with an elbow in-bounds and helping set up points before halftime.
- The Week 2 play followed his first NFL reception in Week 1, a one-handed touchdown against Green Bay despite appearing on only three offensive snaps.
- Head coach Dan Campbell said illness limited TeSlaa’s Week 1 practice time and led to the curtailed snaps.
- Offensive coordinator John Morton said TeSlaa’s role would expand for Week 2, and the rookie answered with a pivotal late-half catch.
- A Pride of Detroit columnist proposed roughly a 30% snap share for TeSlaa with priority in red-zone packages, reflecting ongoing discussion about his deployment.
