The Detroit Lions are still trying to figure out what the plan is at cornerback, as injuries have cleared their depth at the position. With top corner Jeff Okudah out for the season, third-round rookie Ifeatu Melifonwu on injured reserve for the foreseeable future and free agent addition Quinton Dunbar not working out, the Lions have turned to their youth for answers.
After too many struggles from converted safety Bobby Price, the Lions handed the starting job to undrafted rookie Jerry Jacobs against the Minnesota Vikings. Tasked for most of the game with shutting down the talented Adam Thielen, Jacobs was up to the task.
