Per Campbell, Rakestraw is expected to be out for some time. <\/p>\n<p id=\"MMfJEa\">\u201cIt\u2019s a shoulder,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be a while. At best, I think it\u2019s going to be a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"WK6wYl\">Campbell noted that they\u2019re still doing tests for Rakestraw, so they aren\u2019t ready to commit to any specific diagnosis or timeline.<\/p>\n<p id=\"W2LkYK\">\u201cI hate it for the kid. You hate it,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cIt\u2019s not his fault. Just one of those tough deals. All you can do is try to get it better, rehab, come back stronger, and move on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"Wk4Gm2\">It\u2019s a tough blow to Rakestraw, who has dealt with several injuries since entering the NFL as the Lions\u2019 second-round pick in 2024. He was limited to just one preseason game with an ankle injury. His regular season was shortened to just eight games after dealing with a hamstring injury\u2014eventually landing on injured reserve in November. Just this camp, he was dealing with an early chest injury, and now this shoulder injury will sideline him long-term.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ECCERy\">Earlier on Monday, the Lions added former Michigan Panthers cornerback D.J. Miller to help out with depth. He\u2019ll join Rock Ya-Sin, Dicaprio Bootle, Tyson Russell, and Nick Whiteside as depth behind Detroit\u2019s starters: Terrion Arnold, D.J. Reed, and Amik Robertson. <\/p>\n<p id=\"9WGSwN\">The Lions\u2019 secondary took another blow on Sunday, with seventh-round rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prideofdetroit.com\/2025\/8\/4\/24480971\/detroit-lions-place-rookie-safety-on-ir-add-new-cornerback\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Jackson suffering a leg injury that landed him on injured reserve<\/a>. After placing Jackson on IR, cutting running back Kye Robichaux, and signing Miller, the Lions have an open spot on their 90-man roster. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell confirmed the suspected bad news regarding cornerback Ennis Rakestraw\u2019s injury.
