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.

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.

Arnold (concussion) didn't practice Thursday. Arnold suffered a concussion Week 10 against Washington and didn't play this past Sunday against Philadelphia. He's missed the first two practices this week, so there's reason to be pessimistic about his chance of suiting up Sunday against the Giants. Rock Ya-Sin started at cornerback in Arnold's stead against the Eagles and will likely do so again Week 12 if Arnold remains out.

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. A return to practice would indicate that he is progressing through protocol, though he would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday against the Giants.

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.
