Lions' Ennis Rakestraw Has Minor Chest Injury

Detroit Lions cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. suffered a minor chest injury during the team's first 2025 training camp practice, but head coach Dan Campbell confirmed all evaluations were negative and Rakestraw is expected to be sidelined only a few days. The injury followed a collision and comes after Rakestraw's rookie season was limited by a hamstring issue. The Lions are also dealing with the season-ending ACL injury of defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike. This has led to fan concerns about the team's practice intensity, particularly with both coordinators being new this season. Despite these setbacks, the Lions remain optimistic about Rakestraw's recovery and his role in his second year. The team continues to focus on building depth and avoiding further injuries ahead of the new season.
