Jeff Okudah has won the starting cornerback job for the Detroit Lions, coach Dan Campbell said Sunday following his team's 19-9 loss at Pittsburgh in the preseason finale.
Although Detroit's first depth chart of the summer listed Okudah, the third overall pick of the 2020 NFL draft, behind Will Harris at cornerback for the first-team defense, that has now changed following the conclusion of preseason play.
Campbell confirmed during his postgame news conference that Okudah had secured the starting job.
During training camp, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn originally declared an open competition between the two on who would start on the opposite side of Lions defender Amani Oruwariye.
