Lions' CB Terrion Arnold Likely Season-Ending

Detroit Lions starting cornerback Terrion Arnold will be sidelined “for a long time” after aggravating a shoulder injury in the win at Cincinnati that first occurred in the Week 4 win over Cleveland; he was carted off in the fourth quarter. NFL Network reports the injury is “likely” season-ending as the team pursues additional medical opinions, though coach Dan Campbell said the club isn't yet certain whether Arnold can return this season. Arnold had been playing through the injury and finished the game with a tackle and two passes defended before being ruled out. The loss further depletes Detroit’s secondary—D.J. Reed is on injured reserve (hamstring), Ennis Rakestraw is out for the year after shoulder surgery, and reserves such as Khalil Dorsey are expected to miss multiple weeks. Detroit will lean on veterans Rock Ya‑Sin, Amik Robertson, Tre Flowers and Avonte Maddox, may alter its defensive plans and is exploring roster moves to shore up depth.
