Arnold's expected signing with the Seahawks does not have a timeline, with Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reporting that the cornerback will be placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List once his deal with Seattle occurs.
Placement on the exempt list would mean that Arnold wouldn't be able to play or practice amid his legal proceedings, though he would be able to be in meetings, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Arnold was released by the Lions earlier this offseason following a June arrest that brought felony charges of robbery and kidnapping.

Seahawks' Terrion Arnold: In line to sign with Seahawks
Rotowire
Arnold is planning to sign with the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday.
Arnold visited with the Texans, Saints and Giants, but has ultimately chosen the 2025 Super Bowl champions. The NFL still has a decision to make regarding possibly placing the cornerback on the Commissioner's Exempt List due to his felony charges for robbery and kidnapping that occurred in February. In any event, it appears as though the Seahawks are willing to take a chance on the former Lions starter as long as he is allowed to play. Prior to landing on IR due to a shoulder injury last December, Arnold recorded 31 tackles, eight pass breakups and one interception over eight regular-season games with Detroit in 2025.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Estimated as limited Monday
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.

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.
