What happened: The Detroit Lions signed wide receivers Tay Martin, Tarik Black and Lucky Jackson. The team also placed rookie WR Kendrick Law on reserve/injured, officially ending his first NFL season before it began.

Why it matters: The signings restock a receiver group thinned by injury, with Law landing on IR after tearing his ACL during OTAs. The added depth gives Detroit more competition and insurance at the position heading into the 2026 season.

What to watch: Watch whether any of the three new receivers stick through training camp and factor into Detroit's Week 1 depth chart.
