After the Detroit Lions' win over the Cleveland Browns last Sunday, the Lions had some concerning cornerback injuries to worry about, with D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold going down.

Since then, there's been some positive updates. Reed won't require surgery and will be back this season, and on Wednesday, we got this update.

Terrion Arnold returned to practice for the Lions on Wednesday

That's a huge development. It's not a guarantee that he plays against the Bengals on Sunday, but it's a sign that it's a possibility. We'll have to monitor this one for the rest of the week and see what happens. We'll know once the initial injury report is released whether this was a limited or full practice. We'll update this piece then.

Lions signed cornerback Nick Whiteside to the practice squad

Go back and look at a lot of local media's 53-man roster predictions during training camp, and you'll see that many of us had Whiteside on the Lions' main roster this season.

It didn't happen as the Lions chose to keep fewer corners. Somehow, the UFL standout didn't get signed anywhere else, and now he's back. It would be shocking if the Lions let him get out of their sight again.

Lions sign Loren Strickland to 53-man roster

With Avonte Maddox likely playing cornerback this week, and Daniel Thomas being added to the IR last week, the Lions are moving Strickland to the 53-man roster.

He was on the roster last year and proved to be a solid special teams hand with his violent hits. He might stick all year. We'll see what happens.
