ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions are confident cornerback Jeff Okudah will be ready for training camp ahead of the 2022 season.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 draft, Okudah suffered a season-ending left Achilles tear early in the fourth quarter of Detroit's 2021 opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Now that he is on the road back to the field, the organization is focused on the confidence aspect of his recovery as much as the physical process.
“That’s the biggest thing right now," Lions coach Dan Campbell said.
