Big performances: In limited work Saturday that consisted of just two series, TeSlaa made the most of it.<\/p>\n
TeSlaa had a nice sliding catch on a third-down play early in the game and put the Lions on the board with a 33-yard touchdown that showed off his 4.4 speed getting a step on a defender down the right sideline.<\/p>\n
TeSlaa has a big frame (6-4, 214), soft hands and good speed. He should be a contributor on offense and special teams in the regular season.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Trevor Nowaske<\/a> (nine tackles) and safety Loren Strickland<\/a> (nine tackles and one tackle for loss) had really nice performances for Detroit’s defense.<\/p>\n Key stat: Detroit was out-gained on offense 399 yards to 186 and lost the time of possession battle 40:15 to 19:45.<\/p>\n Injury report: Linebacker Ezekiel Turner left the game in the third quarter with a right leg injury and did not return.<\/p>\n Up next: at Green Bay, Sun., Sept. 7, 4:25 p.m. (CBS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Big performances: In limited work Saturday that consisted of just two series, TeSlaa made the most of it.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311987,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2056],"tags":[7,1211,416,221,253,58300,2368,842,5857,48595,415,6,222,6297],"class_list":{"0":"post-311986","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston-texans","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-hendon-hooker","10":"tag-homepage-centerpiece-package","11":"tag-houston","12":"tag-houston-texans","13":"tag-houston-texans-at-detroit-lions-2025-pre-3","14":"tag-houstontexans","15":"tag-isaac-teslaa","16":"tag-kyle-allen","17":"tag-loren-strickland","18":"tag-news-twentyman","19":"tag-nfl","20":"tag-texans","21":"tag-trevor-nowaske"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115079900625696788","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
