After discovering he’ll be out “for a long time” due to a shoulder injury, Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, offering a glimpse into his mindset amid a difficult setback.

“God Makes No Mistakes” 🙏

Moments after Dan Campbell confirmed the seriousness of Arnold’s injury, the second-year corner posted a photo of himself in prayer, suited up in his Lions gear, with the caption:

“God makes no mistakes 🙏🏾”

I t’s a brief yet powerful statement from a player who’s embodied perseverance since joining Detroit as a first-round pick in 2024.

A Season Halted, But Faith Intact

Arnold’s injury came only a week after the Lions placed D.J. Reed on injured reserve, leaving the defense without both of its starting outside corners. Campbell shared Monday:

“He’s going to be out for a while. He’s going to be out for a long time.”

When asked whether it might be a season-ending injury, Campbell said he wasn’t certain yet, only that Arnold’s recovery will take considerable time.

The setback is particularly painful for the young defensive back, who had just turned in one of his strongest outings of the season against Cincinnati. Campbell praised his maturity and focus, saying:

“He was very competitive. I thought he was calm. I thought he was cool, and I thought this was one of the better games he’s played in a while. I thought he was really good.”

Faith and Determination Ahead

Arnold’s message reflects wisdom beyond his age and an unshakable faith that’s guided him since college. Even in adversity, he’s choosing gratitude and perspective.

As Detroit adjusts to playing without two essential starters in the secondary, Arnold’s leadership, belief, and resilience continue to inspire those around him.
