The Detroit Lions have placed cornerback Ennis Rakestraw on injured reserve with a season-ending shoulder injury and signed tight end Steven Stilianos
AUGUST 7, 2025 • Associated Press
Out for season after IR placement Rakestraw (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Impact Rakestraw will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery after being injured in practice this past Sunday. He will miss the entire 2025 season. The 2024 second-round draft pick appeared in eight games during his rookie regular season.

Expected to miss action Rakestraw (shoulder) is set to be sidelined for an extended period, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Impact Rakestraw suffered a left shoulder injury at practice Sunday, and appears to be looking at a prolonged absence. The exact nature of the injury has yet to be disclosed, while medical evaluation is still ongoing. "I think it's going to be a while, at best," head coach Dan Campbell relayed Monday, which is vague, but not promising. On the bright side, Rakestraw hasn't been placed on season-ending injured reserve, which seems to suggest that a return in 2025 is still on the table for the 23-year-old. In his absence, Amik Robertson will remain the clear front-runner to handle the starting duties at slot cornerback with Detroit this season.

Exits practice with shoulder injury Rakestraw left Sunday's training camp practice early due to a left shoulder injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Rakestraw landed on his left shoulder during a one-on-one tackling drill. It's bad timing for the 2024 second-rounder, who is working to establish a more consistent role for himself in the defense after ending his rookie season on IR due to a hamstring injury. Rakestraw will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but he is in jeopardy of missing the Lions' preseason opener against the Falcons on Friday.

Back in action Saturday Rakestraw (chest) returned to practice Saturday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
Impact Rakestraw suffered a chest injury last Sunday, and just as head coach Dan Campbell predicted, he only missed a few days. The 2024 second-round pick only played 46 defensive snaps across eight regular-season games last season before finishing the year on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Amik Robertson is expected to start at slot cornerback again this season unless Rakestraw can steal the job in training camp.

Dealing with chest injury Rakestraw suffered a chest contusion at the Lions' practice Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Rakestraw was forced to exit practice early with an apparent chest injury, which is now understood to be just a contusion, avoiding a major injury. The cornerback was limited to eight games in his rookie season last year due to a hamstring issue, and he's competing with Amik Robertson for the team's starting role at slot cornerback in 2025.
