Ennis Rakestraw 1 of 2 Lions to leave practice early due to injury
According to Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News, Rakestraw suffered a left shoulder injury during a one-on-one tackling drill, forcing his early exit.
"Lions CB Ennis Rakestraw is being evaluated for a shoulder injury that he sustained in a one-on-one tackling drill. He fell on his left shoulder and struggled to get up," Bianchi reported.
Rakestraw was one of two Lions players to exit early with an injury, as safety Dan Jackson also exited with a leg injury. The severity of both players' injuries are not known at this time.

The Lions' 2024 second-round pick suffered a chest contusion on the very first practice of training camp.
Rakestraw's injuries are no doubt an ominous sign after his first season in the NFL was derailed due to injury.
Rakestraw missed a total of nine games with hamstring issues last season, and his early-season hamstring issue prevented him from taking the slot cornerback job, which veteran Amik Robertson managed to lock down in his absence.

Kyle Shanahan: Jake Moody's still competing with whoever's out there
The 49ers released veteran kicker Greg Joseph on Monday, but head coach Kyle Shanahan stopped short of saying that means Jake Moody will definitely be handling the kicking duties in the season opener. Shanahan said that "roster numbers" led to the decision to cut Joseph because the 49ers need healthy bodies at other spots at this point in training camp. Shanahan said he would have liked to see the competition play out longer under different circumstances, but said he thinks Moody knows that he is still competing against the larger pool of available kickers. "Whether you have one kicker in the building or two, which you rarely have two, kickers always know they're competing with whoever's out there," Shanahan said, via "I don't see it much different." Moody was a 2023 third-round pick and he's gone 45-of-59 on field goals through his first two seasons.

Sean Payton hosted a familiar face at Broncos training camp
The Denver Broncos had one of Sean Payton's former players at practice on Monday, although most NFL fans are more familiar with the guest for his coaching career than his quarterback days. Jason Garrett, who was a backup quarterback with the New York Giants when Payton served as their offensive coordinator in the early 2000s, was at the Broncos' facility on Monday for the team's training camp practice. 'I coached him, and he was our backup quarterback," Payton said after practice. "He's always been a close friend. He's made a couple of trips. I think he's doing some type of podcast special on leadership, and so he's here for the day. I'll spend some time with him. He's really bright, and he's been a close friend. We're going to go back to 2000, which is when we signed him. It's good to see him.' Garrett also visited Broncos training camp last summer. Garrett served as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 2011-2019, and he most recently served as the Giants' offensive coordinator from 2020-2021 before transitioning to broadcasting with NBC Sports.
