With rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold reportedly heading to injured reserve, the Detroit Lions suddenly find themselves thin at a critical position — and one familiar name is quickly resurfacing as a potential solution. A recently released cornerback, who already knows Detroit’s system, is being mentioned as someone the Lions should consider bringing back to stabilize their secondary.
Arnold has been an important part of Detroit’s defensive progression this season, and losing him for multiple weeks is a significant blow. His injury doesn’t just impact the starting unit — it forces the Lions to re-evaluate their depth and look for immediate reinforcements.
Bringing back a corner who has already worked under defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn could make the transition seamless. Familiarity with the playbook, communication, and Detroit’s aggressive style would allow the Lions to plug the veteran into snaps without the learning curve that comes with signing an outside free agent.
With the playoff push underway, Detroit can’t afford to let its secondary become a weak link. Reuniting with a player who understands the Lions’ expectations might be the quickest path to stability as Arnold recovers.
