The Detroit Lions didn’t need this. Not even 24 hours after losing Levi Onwuzurike for the year, second-year corner Ennis Rakestraw Jr. exited practice with an apparent chest injury. It’s unclear how serious it is, but the narrative isn't great.
Rakestraw came into camp needing every snap he could get after a frustrating rookie year. Now, he’s back on the injury report before the first day of training camp was even over.
Detroit spent the offseason adding to its promising secondary for exactly this reason with D.J. Reed and Avonte Maddox.
