Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold could miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

Per the report, the second-year player is seeking a second opinion.

Arnold, 22, sustained the injury in Detroit's 34-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 4 and aggravated it during Sunday's 37-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The injury comes after fellow cornerback D.J. Reed was placed on injured reserve last week because of a hamstring strain. Cornerback Khalil Dorsey is dealing with a wrist injury, while Ennis Rakestraw underwent shoulder surgery in August and is out for the year.

Arnold started all five games this season and recorded 22 tackles and four passes defensed. The first-round draft pick in 2024 has a fumble recovery, 82 tackles and 14 passes defensed in 21 games (20 starts) for the Lions.

Detroit (4-1) visits the Kansas City Chiefs (2-3) on Sunday night.
