PITTSBURGH - Jeff Okudah's return from a ruptured Achilles tendon is nearly complete.
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said after Sunday's 19-9 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers that Okudah has won the starting cornerback job opposite Amani Oruwariye.
"Yeah, I would say that," Campbell said. "I would say it’s looking like that. There’s nothing after these two weeks to tell me that’s not his job right now."
Okudah, who tore his Achilles tendon in last year's season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers, entered training camp in competition with Will Harris for the left cornerback job.
