Lions Cornerback Injuries Force Shuffle: D.J. Reed Out Multiple Weeks, Terrion Arnold Uncertain for Week 5

Detroit plans to lean on backups with a possible practice-squad addition as it prepares for Cincinnati.

Overview

  • Coach Dan Campbell said D.J. Reed suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for a while but is not season-ending, with an injured-reserve stint still under consideration.
  • Terrion Arnold’s shoulder issue is viewed as short-term, and his availability for Sunday remains in question with an expectation he could return the following week.
  • Amik Robertson is set to step into a starting outside role, with Khalil Dorsey or Rock Ya-Sin likely to handle the other boundary spot and Avonte Maddox available in the slot.
  • Campbell indicated the team may add a cornerback for practice depth, noting the current practice-squad options are limited.
  • Detroit improved to 3-1 with a 34-10 win over Cleveland, where Reed logged an interception and three passes defended before exiting.
