Detroit Lions mailbag: Why we’re still optimistic about Jeff Okudah

Over the weekend, Detroit Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah posted yet another video compilation on social media chronicling the recovery from his Achilles tear. In the latest video, there doesn’t seem to be anything holding Okudah back. He’s running full speed. He’s changing directions on a dime. He doesn’t appear to be favoring one side, or only using a portion of his foot.

In a word, he looks “ready.”

On our latest Spotify Live session—where we answer you Lions’ questions live on the Spotify Live app—one caller had reasonable reservations about Okudah’s upcoming season.
