The Detroit Lions welcomed back two key members of their 2026 roster, during the open portion of practice local media was able to observe on a hot Thursday afternoon. After missing the first week of organized team activities, tight end Sam LaPorta and cornerback Terrion Arnold were spotted at the team's Allen Park Performance Center. During walkthroughs, Arnold and LaPorta were participants, but when the team broke off into position groups for individual drills, they both did not participate. Arnold has been rehabbing a shoulder injury and LaPorta is working his way back from back surgery. At the end of last season, LaPorta hinted he felt he would return to action in a full capacity by the time pads were put on during training camp.
