Arnold, who left Monday's practice with a pectoral injury, is expected to be available for the Lions' regular-season opener against the Rams on Sept. 8, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Arnold has picked up a couple of injuries during training camp, and while none have resulted in a long-term absence, it appears he'll be held out for the Lions' final two preseason games. The rookie first-rounder is expected to start at outside corner opposite seven-year veteran Carlton Davis.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Resumes practicing
Rotowire
Arnold (concussion) practiced Tuesday after clearing the concussion protocol, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Arnold left Monday's practice to be evaluated for a concussion, so based on the timing of his return to the field it sounds like he wasn't diagnosed with a brain injury. With Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) out indefinitely due to a pec tear, the rookie first-round pick's presence at practice is a notable boon for Detroit's secondary. He figures to start across from Carlton Davis.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Picked 24th overall by Detroit
Rotowire
The Lions selected Arnold in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 24th overall.
Arnold was widely expected to get drafted sooner than this, so it's arguably a steal for Detroit even though they traded up from the 29th selection. Cornerback has been a problem for years in Detroit and the 2023 season was no exception, so even if Arnold is a mere CB2 type for the Lions he would still make a significant impact. Then again, Arnold might have legitimate CB1 upside, especially with defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn on hand as one of the best cornerback coaches in the league. Although a bit skinny at 6-feet, 189 pounds, Arnold projects well in any coverage type and from any corner position after taking leading the Alabama secondary the last two years. He should be able to win a Week 1 starting role in Detroit.
