Rakestraw’s Injury Adds Pressure to Lions’ CB Battle | NFL News
Description
Detroit Lions cornerback Ennis Rakestraw’s comeback bid hit another snag after leaving Thursday’s practice with a lower leg injury — a setback that could derail his momentum and shake up the cornerback depth chart as the season nears. Already battling a history of nagging injuries since being drafted in 2024, including a rookie-year hamstring issue and last year’s shoulder surgery, Rakestraw had shown promise in camp with an interception and solid run support. Now, with his status uncertain and the team awaiting medical updates, his absence adds pressure to a cornerback room already thin after Terrion Arnold’s release — making him not just a player to watch, but one whose health could define the Lions’ secondary this fall.
