Overview

  • Rakestraw injured his left shoulder during a Sunday one-on-one drill and is being evaluated by team medical staff.
  • Head coach Dan Campbell said he expects Rakestraw’s recovery to take “a while” and offered no firm return timeline.
  • Cornerback Terrion Arnold’s cryptic Instagram message heightened concerns about the severity of his teammate’s condition.
  • Rookie safety Dan Jackson was placed on season-ending injured reserve after suffering an injury in the same practice session.
  • This marks Rakestraw’s third recent injury—following a chest contusion in early camp and multiple hamstring issues last season—stoking durability worries.
