A win would start the Lions’ defense of their NFC North crown on the right foot. In about 100 hours’ time, Detroit will take the field. When the Lions do, rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa should be among them. Despite missing practice Tuesday with a “little bug,” Lions beat reporter Dave Birkett reported via X (formerly Twitter) that TeSlaa <a href="https://x.com/davebirkett/status/1963206884325773751" rel="noopener">should be okay.</a></p><p>“Lions coach Dan Campbell said on @costaandjansen that rookie WR Isaac TeSlaa missed practice yesterday with ‘a little bug,'” posted Birkett on Wednesday morning. “TeSlaa expected back in the building today, Campbell said he should be OK.”</p><p>The third-round pick is slated to be a starter alongside star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Under new offensive coordinator John Morton, the Lions offense should look somewhat similar to former coordinator Ben Johnson’s scheme, but with a few new wrinkles. Quarterback Jared Goff is ready to orchestrate the attack on the field. How big of an impact <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-news-isaac-teslaa-stock-shoots-after-tim-patrick-trade">could TeSlaa have Week 1?</a></p><h2><b>Lions offense under new leadership in 2025</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Lions-offensive-coordinator-John-Morton-1.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While many thought that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-news-isaac-teslaa-worm-touchdown">TeSlaa would have at least</a> some role during Week 1, it’s clear by his preseason performance, as well as the trade of veteran Tim Patrick, that the Lions have high hopes in the rookie. The former Arkansas Razorback has impressed throughout camp and practices as well. St. Brown and Williams will likely shoulder the majority of the passing attack early on, but TeSlaa has room to stand out.</p><p>If the rookie can do so, then it will make Morton’s attack even more deadly. Goff has revitalized his career with the Lions and is considered one of the NFL’s best signal callers. In addition to his top three wideouts, tight end Sam LaPorta looks to bounce back from a disappointing sophomore season. Not to mention the rushing game, and a strong offensive line. It’s clear that big things are expected of the Detroit offense in 2025. Can <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-news-jared-goff-earns-elite-endorsement-from-amon-ra-st-brown-jahmyr-gibbs">TeSlaa, St. Brown and the rest</a> of the unit deliver once again? If so, then this season should be even more successful than the last.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Patrick, who played 16 games last season with 33 receptions for 394 yards and three touchdowns, had carved out a role as a physical blocker and steady target. But his quiet summer and the emergence of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-news-isaac-teslaa-worm-touchdown">TeSlaa left the Lions with little hesitation in moving forward</a>.</p><p>TeSlaa, a third-round pick out of Arkansas, has been one of Detroit’s standout performers in training camp and the preseason. The 6-foot-4 receiver impressed teammates, coaches, and analysts with his ability to make contested catches and contribute as a willing blocker. Former Super Bowl champion Chris Long even praised TeSlaa’s energy and toughness, pointing to his effort on plays when he is not the primary target.</p><h2><b>Isaac TeSlaa is ready to roar with the Lions!</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/TeSlaa-Lions-1.jpg"><figcaption>Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Lions coach Dan Campbell has repeatedly stressed how far along TeSlaa is compared with most rookies. After the preseason finale, Campbell noted that the young receiver will face growing pains but said his development puts him in the upper echelon of first-year players.</p><p>“If you took most receivers, he’d be in the upper echelon of those, as far as development. It’s pretty good. It’s not easy to develop as a receiver in this league and be ready to go, and I think there’s a place for him to help us early in this season,” Campbell said after the final preseason game.</p><p>The trade leaves Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams as the primary receivers. After that, it’s TeSlaa and Kalif Raymond competing for the third spot. TeSlaa strengthened his case with 10 catches for 146 yards and three touchdowns in the preseason. He showcased the ability to stretch the field and finish in the red zone.</p><p>Patrick, who turns 32 this fall, now joins a crowded Jacksonville receiving group. For the Lions, his departure signals a clear belief in TeSlaa’s mix of size, skill, and work ethic. They hope it translates quickly into meaningful snaps.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
