Lions Cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Placed on Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions have placed cornerback Ennis Rakestraw on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, sidelining him for at least four games, with the possibility of returning in Week 16. Rakestraw's absence, combined with rookie Terrion Arnold's groin injury, leaves the Lions without key defensive backs for their upcoming game against the Colts. Arnold has been officially ruled out, while Emmanuel Moseley may make his season debut as a result. The Lions' coaching staff acknowledges the challenge posed by the Colts' receiving corps, emphasizing the need for their remaining cornerbacks to step up. Dan Campbell praised Arnold for his resilience and ability to learn from mistakes during his rookie season. The defensive strategy will be crucial as they face a strong passing attack this week.
