Detroit Lions starting cornerback Terrion Arnold, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, is expected to make a comeback sooner than it was initially contemplated. Arnold had to be carted off the field during the Lions' 37-24 win against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

The 22-year-old ended with a tackle and two passes defended. He also left last week's game against the Cleveland Browns due to a shoulder injury. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Arnold, after a second opinion, found that his shoulder injury is not as bad as feared and that he could come back as soon as this month.
“A second opinion on Lions CB Terrion Arnold’s shoulder today revealed the injury is not as bad as feared and he now is expected to return, as one source described, ‘sooner than expected’, quite possibly this month,” read Schefter’s X post.

"Unfortunately, he's going to be out for a while. He's going to be out for a long time,” ESPN quoted Campbell as saying. The Lions had placed their other starting cornerback, DJ Reed, on injured reserve last week because of a hamstring injury.
