Overview

• Aaron Wilson first reported that Detroit is signing Tre Flowers to the practice squad to reinforce secondary depth.
• Dan Campbell said D.J. Reed is expected to miss time with a non–season-ending injury, with an injured-reserve stint still possible.
• Rookie starter Terrion Arnold is dealing with a shoulder issue and is uncertain for Week 5 against the Bengals, per Campbell.
• Flowers, a 2018 fifth-round pick, has appeared in 95 NFL games with 44 starts and brings size and strong run defense from prior stops in Seattle and elsewhere.
• Because Flowers joins the practice squad, he would require an elevation or active-roster move to play on gameday, and his signing does not indicate Reed’s timetable.
