Terrion Arnold, the Detroit Lions’ first-round rookie cornerback, has been dealing with a groin issue but managed to participate in practice at the end of the week. Despite his injury, Arnold’s status for the Lions’ upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts remains uncertain, as he is listed as questionable.
Head coach Dan Campbell spoke to reporters on Friday, sharing that he was not overly concerned about Arnold’s injury. Campbell expressed confidence in the cornerback’s ability to recover but emphasized the importance of evaluating how Arnold responds to his final practice session of the week.
Arnold’s groin injury has kept him from being fully active throughout the week, but his participation in the final practice was a positive sign. The Lions’ coaching staff is closely monitoring his progress and is hopeful he will be ready for the Colts game, depending on how his body reacts after practicing.
Dan Campbell reassured the media that there were no significant concerns about Arnold’s long-term health. The Lions head coach made it clear that the team’s decision would hinge on how Arnold felt following his participation in practice on Friday.
The team is taking a cautious approach, with the decision about Arnold’s availability for Sunday’s game still up in the air. The coaching staff is well aware that they must ensure Arnold is in top form before placing him back on the field.
With the game against the Colts approaching, the Lions are preparing for the possibility of having Arnold in the lineup, though his final practice session will ultimately determine his status. The team remains optimistic but cautious as they navigate his recovery
