Last week, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes faced a barrage of questions regarding Terrion Arnold and the state of the team’s cornerback room.

This offseason, the Detroit Lions have been preaching their focus on getting back to their true identity.

During training camp, the Detroit Lions were hoping to have a full-on competition between Christian Mahogany and Ben Bartch (also, Juice Scruggs) for the starting left guard job.
