Three tackles in preseason opener Okudah totaled three tackles during Friday's preseason opener against Atlanta.

Impact While Okudah gave up a first down on third-and-eight against backup-caliber wideout KhaDarel Hodge, he escaped the game healthy and has officially begun the process of shaking off the rust after a 334-day layoff from game action. Look for the Lions to continue to assess the 2020 No. 3 overall pick this preseason as Detroit figures out its cornerback rotation in advance of Week 1.

Inside Allen Park: Tracking Jeff Okudah Detroit Lions cornerback is moving around well during the early portion of training camp.

JULY 28, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Participating in training camp Okudah (Achilles) was close to a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Roughly 11 months since rupturing his Achilles, Okudah took first-team reps during the only full-team period of the opening day of training camp. Head coach Dan Campbell said afterword that that plan is for Okudah to practice without restrictions for the rest of the summer. If he can finally avoid the injury bug, the Ohio State product should have a good shot at sticking with the starting defense come Week 1, though Will Harris also took first-team reps opposite Amani Oruwariye at cornerback Wednesday and could be in the mix as well.

Avoids PUP list Okudah (Achilles) was not placed on the PUP list in advance of training camp, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Okudah was a limited participant in offseason workouts as he bounces back from a torn Achilles suffered during the 2021 season opener. However, he has reportedly progressed well in his recovery throughout the spring, and it seems the 23-year-old will be involved in training camp once most veterans report to Detroit on Wednesday.
