Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is set to miss an extended period due to a shoulder injury, according to coach Dan Campbell. The injury was sustained during the Lions’ recent 37-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Terrion Arnold’s Injury Details
Coach Campbell confirmed that Arnold’s return timeline remains uncertain. The coaching staff is currently evaluating whether the injury could affect the remainder of his season. Arnold recorded one tackle and defended two passes before being carted off the field in the fourth quarter.
Previous Injuries
This latest injury follows another issue from the previous week, where Arnold was sidelined temporarily during a game against the Cleveland Browns due to shoulder concerns. The situation escalated during the game against Cincinnati, leading to his indefinite absence from play.

Impact on the Lions’ Defense
Arnold’s absence is a significant blow to the Lions’ defensive lineup. His fellow starting cornerback, D.J. Reed, was placed on injured reserve last week due to a hamstring injury, leaving the team vulnerable in the secondary.
As the Lions navigate through this challenging period, the coaching staff will need to make necessary adjustments to fill these critical gaps in their defense.
