Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- Detroit Lions cornerback Ennis Rakestraw has struggled early in training camp, losing reps on the first-team defense to teammate Nick Whiteside, who has been performing better.
- Head coach Dan Campbell explained the team's decision to bring in former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs to increase competition and potentially upgrade the cornerback position.
- Campbell emphasized that the team is continuously seeking ways to improve the roster, indicating they are open to adding players who can push current starters or enhance the defense.
- Despite setbacks like Terrion Arnold not working out, the coaching staff remains optimistic about the secondary, praising veterans and young players such as Whiteside, Rock Ya-Sin, and Roger McCreary.
- Injured starter D.J. Reed is expected to return soon from a soft tissue injury, which Campbell does not consider significant, maintaining confidence in the depth and talent of the cornerback group.
