Rakestraw (hamstring/illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round matchup against Washington. Rakestraw was designated to return from IR on Jan. 9 but sat out the first two practices of this week. He did manage to log a limited practice Thursday but isn't ready to return to action Saturday. It's unclear if Rakestraw's sparse practice participation this week was due more to the hamstring issue or the illness he's also dealing with. Regardless, he'll look to return for next weekend's NFC Championship Game if the Lions advance.... See More ... See Less

Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Designated to return from IR
The Lions designated Rakestraw (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Rakestraw was placed on injured reserve in late November due to a hamstring injury. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice, and depending on how his hamstring responds to on-field work, Rakestraw could be activated off IR and play in the Lions' divisional-round game. The rookie second-round pick logged six tackles (four solo) across eight regular-season games.... See More ... See Less -
Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Won't play Week 3
Rakestraw (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Rakestraw wasn't able to practice all week due to a hamstring injury, and he'll have to wait until Week 4 against the Seahawks for his next chance to suit up. Kindle Vildor and Khalil Dorsey will serve as the Lions' backups at corner behind starters Carlton Davis and Terrion Arnold (illness).... See More ... See Less -
Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Won't play Sunday
Rakestraw (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers. Rakestraw's absence from the active roster for Week 2 comes as a bit of a surprise, with the 2024 second-round selection expected to be an important depth piece of the Lions' retooled secondary this season. However, the Missouri product did play just three snaps on defense in their Week 1 win over the Rams and may need more development time to carve out a more consistent role.... See More ... See Less -
Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Returns to practice
Rakestraw (ankle) participated in Tuesday's practice session, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. Rakestraw was forced to sit out of Lions' second preseason game against the Chiefs on Saturday due to an ankle injury he sustained in the week leading up to the contest. He appears to have healed from the injury, and the rookie second-round pick will participate in practices ahead of Saturday's preseason finale against Pittsburgh.... See More ... See Less -
Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Suffers ankle injury
Rakestraw had to leave practice early Monday after sustaining an ankle injury, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. Rakestraw secured two total tackles while playing 37 snaps with the defensive unit and 11 with special teams in Thursday's 14-3 preseason loss to the Giants. It's unclear what the severity of the ankle injury he suffered Monday is, but more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future.... See More ... See Less -
Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: On to the Motor City
The Lions selected Rakestraw in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 61st overall. This is a Dan Campbell-style pick, as Rakestraw is an extremely hard-nosed defensive back who doesn't rely on his athleticism to be an asset in the secondary. Aggressiveness and toughness help him as a tackler as well. Rakestraw is on the smaller side at 5-foot-11 and 183 pounds with 4.51 speed, though the film still kept him on the second-round radar. The Lions now have a young and tough secondary with Terrion Arnold and Brian Branch as recent additions over the last two drafts.... See More ... See Less
