Lions rookie S Dan Jackson (leg) placed on injured reserve
Detroit Lions safety Dan Jackson (28) practices during rookie mini camp at Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park on Friday, May 9, 2025. A day after exiting practice with a leg injury, Detroit Lions safety Dan Jackson is heading to injured reserve.
The Lions did not set a timetable for the rookie's return, although Detroit coach Dan Campbell told reporters that the injury "doesn't look good." He added that "it looks like he's going to be down for a while."
The Lions drafted Jackson with the 230th overall pick in the draft after he garnered third-team All-SEC honors last year while at Georgia, where he finished third on the team with 64 tackles.
Jackson was not the only defensive back to leave practice early Sunday, as 2024 second-round cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. suffered a shoulder injury that will cause him to miss time.
Campbell did not provide additional details on Rakestraw, including a timetable to return, only saying that "it's going to be a while at best."
