Monday night’s Detroit Lions practice brought a few injuries, one of which happened to first-round rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold. Early in the session, Arnold surged at WR Amon-Ra St. Brown to make a stop but took the worse of the collision.
Grabbing at his upper chest, Arnold slowly walked off the field with trainers. He did not return to practice.
The Lions revealed after practice that Arnold was being evaluated for a chest injury but did not specify the exact nature or extent. While we still haven’t heard anything official, the bevy of NFL insiders all seem to be reporting the same basic news:
Arnold suffered a pectoral injury but is not expected to miss any time in the regular season.
#Lions first-round CB Terrion Arnold, who left practice yesterday with a pec injury, is not expected to miss time in the regular season, sources say. Some good news.

It does appear that Arnold’s preseason and training camp are through. The first-rounder from Alabama has taken first-team reps at outside cornerback all summer and has looked capable of starting right away.
