The Lions revealed that Arnold would undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. A significant groin strain would likely sideline him for multiple weeks, but things appear not to be as serious as feared.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the groin injury that Arnold suffered is not considered serious. This is huge news, considering the MRI might have come back with far worse news.
Detroit has yet to divulge how much time Arnold will miss, but it sounds like the groin injury he suffered might only be something minor and would result in his only missing some practice time.

This is just speculation at the moment, and Arnold could still miss a game or more to heal from the groin injury. These types of injuries can often linger and result in multiple missed games.
Arnold had a solid rookie season in 2024, starting in 15 games and ending the season with 60 total tackles and 10 passes defended. He was set to be a main defensive fixture in 2025, but he might miss time due to his injury.
The Lions need a bounce-back game in Week 2, as they are set to face the Chicago Bears. They may have to do so without Arnold in the lineup, should the groin injury still require him to miss some time.
