As I understand it, Lightroom uses Adobe's Camera Raw capability to read RAW files. If you have the latest version of ACR, you should have no trouble with Lightroom.
(As an aside, I have a new Nikon D7500. LR has no trouble reading its RAW files, but Apple has not yet released THEIR RAW codec, so right now, I do not get thumbnail previews of my D7500 files in the Mac's file explorer (Finder), although files from my D7100 are no problem.)
There is no ACR for Lightroom = it IS ACR.... so the version of Lightroom that will support new camera raw files is important....
There is no updating the ACR built into Lightroom except by replacing Lightroom.
