Lions cornerback Ennis Rakestraw leaves practice with leg injury

Lions cornerback Ennis Rakestraw exited practice early on Thursday due to a lower leg injury. The team announced he is being evaluated for the injury, which reporters noted was non-contact. Rakestraw has had a history of injuries since being a second-round pick in 2024, playing only eight games as a rookie and missing all of the 2025 season due to a shoulder injury. The Lions' cornerback situation has been complicated by their decision to release first-round pick Terrion Arnold this offseason.
