Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is looking to make his mark in the NFL as he enters his third season with the Detroit Lions. With the release of Terrion Arnold over the summer, there is an opening for Rakestraw at the outside cornerback position.
Rakestraw missed the entire 2025 Lions season due to shoulder surgery. He missed about half of the 2024 season due to multiple hamstring strains. Staying healthy is one his priorities for 2026.
Recently, Rakestraw spoke to the media after a training camp practice.
"Everybody preaching to me, 'Please stay healthy. We're going to need you.' So, that's what I'm trying to do. Stay healthy," Rakestraw said.
"I changed my mind from thinking long-term, I'm on short-term now," he said. "The long-term will eventually pick up, but right now healthy today, pray thank God, fix what I need to fix (from the practice tape), tomorrow.
