Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is expected to miss extended time with a shoulder injury, head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Monday.
Arnold, 22, was injured during Sunday’s 37-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Campbell stopped short of saying his second-year player will miss the remainder of the season.
“We put a lot on him (Sunday) and I thought he answered the bell,” Campbell said about Arnold on Monday. “Unfortunately, he’s going to be out for a while. He’s going to be out for a long time.”
The injury to Arnold comes after cornerback D.J. Reed was placed on injured reserve last week because of a hamstring strain.
Arnold started all five of the Lions’ games this season with 22 tackles and four pass breakups. The first-round draft pick in 2024 has a fumble recovery, 82 tackles and 14 passes defensed over two seasons with the Lions.
Detroit (4-1) next plays at Kansas City (2-2) Sunday night.
