Summary
Detroit cut Terrion Arnold on June 29, five days after the former first-round cornerback surrendered to Florida authorities.
Four kidnapping counts and four armed robbery counts stem from a February Tampa case in which prosecutors say three men were lured to an apartment, held at gunpoint, beaten and robbed.
Arnold has denied wrongdoing through his representatives, posted a $1 million bond and must remain at his Tallahassee home except for approved work and legal matters.
24 games, 22 starts, 91 tackles and 18 passes defended underscored the talent Detroit believed it drafted in 2024, but coach Dan Campbell called the release painful and necessary.
D.J. Reed now leads a reshaped Lions cornerback group, with the spot opposite him becoming a key training-camp battle as Detroit moves on.
