Overview

• Ennis Rakestraw Jr. underwent shoulder surgery on August 7 and was placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for the 2025 season.
• He suffered the injury during one-on-one drills at training camp after already missing practice time with a chest contusion.
• His rookie year was limited to 141 snaps across eight games due to previous hamstring problems.
• Detroit signed cornerbacks Luq Barcoo and D.J. Miller to compete for roster spots and reinforce secondary depth.
• Rakestraw’s season-ending absence creates opportunities for backups behind starters Terrion Arnold and D.J. Reed.
