Lions Consider IR for D.J. Reed After Hamstring Injury, Expect Terrion Arnold Back Soon

Dan Campbell indicated Detroit may place Reed on injured reserve to trigger a short-term overhaul of the cornerback rotation.

Overview

  • Reed was carted off against the Browns with a hamstring injury, and Campbell said he will be out for a while but the injury is not season-ending.
  • An IR move for Reed is under consideration and would sideline him a minimum of four games, with Campbell suggesting the timeline could fall in that range.
  • Arnold sustained a shoulder injury and is questionable for Week 5 at Cincinnati, with Campbell expecting him to return by next week.
  • With starters banged up, Detroit plans to lean on Amik Robertson, Rock-Ya Sin, Khalil Dorsey and Avonte Maddox, and may add a cornerback for practice-squad depth given limited internal options.
  • Reed, a three-year, $48 million offseason addition, had logged four pass deflections and an interception this season, and the team’s managed plan to reduce Arnold’s outside snaps is on hold.
