After Detroit Lions cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. exited Monday's practice with a shoulder injury, coach Dan Campbell warned that the second-year player could be out a while 'at best.'
Indeed that is the case, as the Lions placed Rakestraw on injured reserve after he underwent shoulder surgery on Thursday. As a result, the 2024 second-round pick out of Missouri will miss the entire 2025 season.
Prior to his procedure, Rakestraw posted a picture of himself in a hospital gown to his Instagram story with the caption, 'Road to Be back starts soon.'
The shoulder injury was yet another setback for the second-year pro, who was already dealing with a chest contusion suffered during the first day of training camp. His rookie campaign, during which he recorded six tackles across eight games, was also shortened by injuries to his ankle and hamstring.
