Detroit Lions Week 3 injury designations: 2 players ruled out vs. Cardinals

The Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals have released their injury designations ahead of their Week 3 matchup. While the Lions will be missing two defensive backs in this game, they’ve returned a player to practice every day this week and are progressing toward a healthier team.

Let’s take a look at Friday’s injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Of note, any changes from yesterday’s report will be bolded.

Ruled OUT

  • CB Ennis Rakestraw (hamstring)
  • S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle)

Rakestraw injured himself in warmup ahead of the Bucs game and has been unable to practice all week, so him being ruled out was anticipated.
