Overview

• Head coach Dan Campbell said Terrion Arnold will miss an extended period with a shoulder injury and would not rule out a season-ending outcome.
• D.J. Reed remains on injured reserve for at least four games and Khalil Dorsey is also sidelined, further thinning the cornerback group.
• Detroit plans to lean on Amik Robertson on the boundary with Rock Ya-Sin and Avonte Maddox in expanded roles, with Tre Flowers among available depth options.
• Defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard said Robertson’s increased snaps reflected performance and scheme preferences rather than a demotion of Arnold.
• Despite the absences, the Lions have been respectable against the pass this season, and reporting suggests the team could explore a trade if internal options prove insufficient.
