Overview

• ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported a second opinion found Terrion Arnold’s shoulder injury is not as bad as feared and he could return as soon as this month.
• Earlier Tuesday, NFL Network reported the injury was likely season-ending, following Dan Campbell’s Monday assessment that Arnold would be out for a long time.
• Arnold re-aggravated a shoulder injury in Week 5 at Cincinnati, was carted off, and was ruled out after previously exiting Week 4 with the same issue.
• With Reed on IR, Rakestraw out for the year and Khalil Dorsey sidelined, Detroit is leaning on Amik Robertson and Rock Ya-Sin outside with Avonte Maddox in the slot and Tre Flowers available for depth.
• The latest prognosis could affect an injured-reserve decision that would sideline Arnold at least four games, as the team weighs in-house moves and potential additions with ample cap space.
