Arnold has cleared waivers after being cut by Detroit in late June, and Schefter reports the third-year pro has two upcoming visits scheduled with NFL teams. The 2024 first-rounder appears healthy enough to sign with a new squad after having undergone shoulder surgery last December. Arnold is awaiting trial on felony kidnapping and robbery charges.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Arrested on multiple felony charges
Rotowire
Arnold (shoulder) was arrested Wednesday and is facing multiple felony counts of robbery and kidnapping, the Hillsborough County (Fla.) State Attorney's Office announced.
The announcement also noted that Arnold's charges carry a potential sentence of up to life in prison after the cornerback was allegedly the primary conspirator of an elaborate armed robbery and kidnapping plot that happened earlier in the offseason. The 23-year-old was the No. 24 overall pick in the 2024 Draft and has started 22 regular-season games across his first two seasons. He missed the final five games last season with a shoulder injury that required surgery.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Needs season-ending surgery
Rotowire
The Lions placed Arnold on injured reserve Monday, and the cornerback is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder later this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Arnold was previously sidelined for Weeks 11 and 12 due to a concussion, but he made his return to action in the Lions' 34-27 loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving Day. He recorded four solo tackles in the contest, but at some point along the way, he suffered an aggravation of the same shoulder injury that kept him out for Weeks 6 and 7. The Lions will send the 22-year-old in for surgery with the hope that it provides a more permanent fix for the recurring shoulder problem. He'll close out the 2025 campaign with 31 tackles, eight pass breakups and one interception over eight games.

Rotowire
Arnold (concussion) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report.
Arnold has missed back-to-back games after he was concussed in Week 10, and he apparently remains in the league's protocol after logging a trio of DNPs last week ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. With a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday afternoon's Week 13 date with the Packers, Arnold could be in danger of missing a third consecutive contest.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Opens week with DNP
Rotowire
Arnold (concussion) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Arnold is in the league's concussion protocol, which prevented him from playing in the Lions' Week 11 loss to the Eagles.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Won't play against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Arnold (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Arnold entered the league's concussion protocol during the Lions' Week 10 win over the Commanders, which caused him to miss all three practices during Week 11 prep. A return to practice would indicate that he's progressing through the league's protocol, though he would have to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Giants in Week 12. Rock Ya-Sin will likely start at outside corner Sunday in Arnold's absence, and Nick Whiteside and Avonte Maddox could also work with the Lions' first-team defense if Amik Robertson (hamstring) is also ruled out.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Estimated as full participant
Rotowire
Detroit listed Arnold (shoulder) as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
The Lions didn't hold an official practice Wednesday, but Arnold's estimation as a full participant indicates that he is past a shoulder injury that caused him to miss the two games prior to Detroit's Week 8 bye. Unless he suffers a setback over the next two practices, Arnold is in line to make his return against the Vikings on Sunday. His return would bolster a Lions secondary that is dealing with injuries to Kerby Joseph (knee) and Avonte Maddox (hamstring).
