Why it Matters
This development provides rookies Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw an opportunity to secure more reps at the cornerback position. Arnold and Rakestraw are both newcomers to the league.
For the wide receiver battle, Peoples-Jones and Smith will find themselves starting behind their peers for the third wideout spot. Other candidates vying for this position include Kalif Raymond, Antoine Green, and Daurice Fountain. Raymond appears to be in the lead after a strong spring performance.
As training camp progresses, the Detroit Lions will be closely monitoring the health and performance of these key players, aiming to build a strong and competitive roster for the upcoming season.
