The Detroit Lions’ practice on Monday night was highlighted by three noteworthy injuries. Terrion Arnold (upper body), Ennis Rakestraw (ankle), and rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs (leg) are the cornerbacks.

While missing practice sessions or any number of preseason games between now and the season’s opening is not ideal, it is unquestionably preferable to a serious injury that would prevent Arnold from playing in important games.
