The Lions have added multiple WR’s from the UFL (United Football League) in recent days. This is presumably in search of a playmaking returner to fill the void of Kendrick Law who suffered an ACL.
Tarik Black played with the UFL Louisville Knights in 2026. Here is his medical report as excerpted from Lions Free Agency Medical Reports: Lucky Jackson, Tarik Black, & Tay Martin.
Medical concern level ranges from 0 (no concern) to 10 (extreme).
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information and are unverified – subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Tarik Black, WR (28)
Medical Concern Level: 2/10
Two foot fractures in college is notable for Black, but he’s been generally healthy since then. It’s unknown the exact type of foot fractures, but a common one is a Jones fracture. There is some concern of a recurrence if he earns an increased workload with the Lions.
His NFL career involves many short stays with various teams, with minimal game experience.
In 2026 with the UFL Louisville Knights, Black had an excellent year with 31 receptions for 459 yards.
