A Rough Start for Lions in Training Camp

The Detroit Lions kicked off their training camp with a bit of bad luck. On Sunday, cornerback Ennis Rakestraw had to exit practice early due to a chest injury. The team is still figuring out how serious it is.

Rakestraw's Injury History

This isn't Rakestraw's first run-in with injuries. Last season, as a second-round pick, he only played in eight games because of a hamstring issue. He managed to make six tackles in those games. Now, the Lions are hoping this new injury won't keep him out for long.

More Bad News: Onwuzurike Out for the Year

The day started with more bad news. Defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike is out for the year with a torn ACL. The Lions are already missing one key player, and they don't need another.

Depth at Cornerback Provides a Silver Lining

Rakestraw's injury is a setback, but it's not all doom and gloom. The team has depth at cornerback, so they can shuffle things around if needed. Still, they'll be keeping a close eye on Rakestraw's recovery.

Focus on the Future

Training camp is supposed to be about getting ready for the season, but so far, it's been more about dealing with injuries. The Lions will need to stay positive and focus on what they can control.
