Overview
- Dan Campbell said a second opinion on Terrion Arnold’s shoulder was encouraging and likely spared him surgery, yet he offered no return date and cautioned Arnold may still be out for a while.
- Reporting from ESPN and NFL Network described Arnold’s outlook as better than first feared, with the possibility of an October return, though the team is taking a wait-and-see approach.
- Starting corner D.J. Reed remains on injured reserve for at least three more games and Khalil Dorsey was placed on IR this week, further thinning Detroit’s depth.
- Amik Robertson, Rock Ya-Sin and Avonte Maddox are set to carry the load at cornerback, with practice-squad options such as Tre Flowers and Arthur Maulet available for elevation.
- Media speculation has linked Detroit to potential trade targets including Riq Woolen and Greg Newsome II, but no moves have been finalized as the Lions navigate a tough stretch before their Week 8 bye.
