Kendrick Law, a Kentucky product selected in the fifth round of April’s draft, had 53 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns for the Wildcats last season. He spent three seasons at Alabama before transferring within the SEC.
Even with Law out, the Lions still have a talented wide receiver room. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa, Cedrick Wilson and Greg Dortch remain healthy.
