Rakestraw (ankle) is not believed to be dealing with a major injury after he was forced to exit Sunday's win over the Packers, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Coach Dan Campbell said Rakestraw could practice this week, and he has a chance to a play Sunday against the undefeated Vikings. Rock Ya-Sin filled in at cornerback following Rakestraw's injury and would be in line for increased snaps on defense if the latter is unable to face Minnesota.

Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Injures leg
Rakestraw didn't finish practice Thursday due to an apparent leg injury, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
The cornerback suffered an upper-body injury during the first half of Detroit's Aug. 13 preseason loss to Cincinnati, but this appears to be a new issue. Rakestraw missed the 2025 campaign after injuring his shoulder during a training camp practice.

Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Avoids major injury
Rakestraw (upper body) is dealing with a bruise after Thursday's 16-14 preseason loss to the Bengals, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Rakestraw suffered an upper-body injury up near his shoulder in the first half, and he ultimately did not return to the contest. Head coach Dan Campbell outlined that after the game that he doesn't think that the injury is serious. The cornerback can be considered day-to-day for the time being, and an update on his status will likely come when the Lions return to practice this week.

Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: On field in camp
Rakestraw (shoulder) is participating during training camp, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
The cornerback suffered a shoulder injury during a training camp practice last August and had to undergo season-ending surgery. Rakestraw played in eight regular-season games as a rookie two seasons ago, seeing more action on special teams than defense. A 2024 second-round pick, Rakestraw should be able to compete for playing time now that he's healthy again.

Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Out for season after IR placement
Rakestraw (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Rakestraw will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery after being injured in practice this past Sunday. He will miss the entire 2025 season. The 2024 second-round draft pick appeared in eight games during his rookie regular season.

Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Expected to miss action
Rakestraw (shoulder) is set to be sidelined for an extended period of time, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Rakestraw suffered a left shoulder injury at practice Sunday, and appears to be looking at a prolonged absence. The exact nature of the injury has yet to be disclosed, while medical evaluation is still ongoing. "I think it's going to be a while, at best," head coach Dan Campbell relayed Monday, which is vague, but not promising. On the bright side, Rakestraw hasn't been placed on season-ending injured reserve, which seems to suggest that a return in 2025 is still on the table for the 23-year-old. In his absence, Amik Robertson will remain the clear front-runner to handle the starting duties at slot cornerback with Detroit this season.

Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Exits practice with shoulder injury
Rakestraw left Sunday's training camp practice early due to a left shoulder injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Rakestraw landed on his left shoulder during a one-on-one tackling drill. It's bad timing for the 2024 second-rounder, who is working to establish a more consistent role for himself in the defense after ending his rookie season on IR due to a hamstring injury. Rakestraw will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but he is in jeopardy of missing the Lions' preseason opener against the Falcons on Friday.
