Lions Injuries Update: Arnold, Barnes Expected Back

News summary

Detroit Lions defensive starters Terrion Arnold and Derrick Barnes both left Thursday’s practice with injuries—Arnold with a leg issue and Barnes with a hand injury—but coach Dan Campbell has confirmed that neither injury is serious, and both are expected to participate in the team’s first padded practice. Arnold, a promising young cornerback, continues to progress well in camp, while Barnes, returning from last season's knee injury, is slated for a key role at linebacker. The team’s training camp has seen frequent injuries, including running back Sione Vaki and defensive tackle Roy Lopez, who remain sidelined. Positive news includes the return of defenders Brodric Martin, Al-Quadin Muhammad, and Stantley Thomas-Oliver from prior injuries. Linebacker Alex Anzalone remains absent with a hamstring injury amid a contract dispute, providing Barnes with an opportunity to take on a larger role. The Lions aim to build on last season’s franchise-record 15 wins despite ongoing injury challenges.
