Kendrick Law

No. 88 · Rookie

Kendrick Law's rookie season is over before most people knew it started

There is a particular kind of quiet that follows a player being placed on injured reserve. No final play to point to, no goodbye press conference. One day you are on the roster; the next, the team is signing three wide receivers and your name is in a different column.

Law came to the Detroit Lions as a rookie wide receiver with a season still ahead of him — or so it seemed. The details of how he got hurt are not part of this story yet, but the result is definitive: his first year in the league is done.

The Lions moved quickly around him, bringing in Tay Martin, Tarik Black, and Lucky Jackson at the same position. Business as usual for a roster, which is exactly what makes it hard. The team keeps moving; Law watches from somewhere else.

Injured reserve is not the end of anything, but it is the end of this. A whole rookie season, gone. The question now is what kind of player shows up when he gets the chance to try again.
