Terrion Arnold left practice with hamstring injury
The Lions are dealing with a couple of injuries in their starting defensive backfield. Cornerback Terrion Arnold left Tuesday's practice early and he's being evaluated for a hamstring injury. Arnold worked with a trainer on the side of the field rather than head inside for further evaluation, but the team has not offered an official update on his condition. The Lions were already practicing without safety Kerby Joseph, but they expect to have him back soon. Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters that Joseph is dealing with knee irritation and that the hope is that he will be able to resume practicing after the Hall of Fame Game later this week.

As the NFL continues its unveiling of the Top 100 Players of 2025, one of the best safeties in the league had his name revealed Friday.

Kyle Hamilton's versatility earns him the top safety spot in AP rankings
Kyle Hamilton has quickly proven that he can be a jack of all trades on Baltimore's stellar defense, thriving in the slot, the box, or as a deep safety. But it was the decision to move Hamilton to free safety midway through last season that helped eliminate the big plays and boost the Ravens' defense. Hamilton's talent and versatility helped him earn the honor of being voted the top safety in the league by The Associated Press. A panel of eight AP Pro Football Writers ranked the top five players at safety, basing selections on current status entering the 2025 season. First-place votes were worth 10 points. Second- through fifth-place votes were worth 5, 3, 2, and 1 points. Hamilton got five first place-votes, one second, and one third to claim the top spot. Detroit's Kerby Joseph got the other three first-place votes and finished second. Green Bay's Xavier McKinney, Detroit's Brian Branch, and Derwin James of the Los Angeles Chargers rounded out the top five. Atlanta's Jessie Bates, Tampa Bay's Antoine Winfield Jr., Miami's Minkah Fitzpatrick, Denver's Brandon Jones, Arizona's Budda Baker, and Houston's C.J. Gardner-Johnson also received votes. 1. KYLE HAMILTON, Baltimore RavensHamilton has been the most important piece on Baltimore's defense thanks in large part to his versatility. He has the ability to stop the run, excel against the pass, and rush the quarterback, and was voted a first-team All-Pro in 2023 and second-teamer last season. Hamilton played the majority of his snaps starting in Week 11 last season as a free safety, and the Ravens went from allowing 4.7 pass plays of at least 20 yards per game to 1.6 after the switch. 2. KERBY JOSEPH, Detroit LionsJoseph emerged as a big-time playmaker in his third season, leading the NFL with nine interceptions to earn first-team All-Pro honors. His 17 career interceptions are the most for any safety in his first three seasons since Hall of Famer Ed Reed had 21. 3. XAVIER MCKINNEY, Green Bay PackersMcKinney made a major impact on Green Bay's defense in his first season after signing with the Packers as a free agent. He was at his best in pass coverage as a deep safety. McKinney had eight interceptions last season and allowed a 56.4 passer rating when targeted in coverage according to Pro Football Focus. 4. BRIAN BRANCH, Detroit LionsBranch has become an immediate impact player on Detroit's defense since being drafted in the second round in 2023. He led all safeties with 16 passes defensed last season and was tied for third with eight tackles for loss as he performed at a high level both in the run and pass game. 5. DERWIN JAMES, Los Angeles ChargersJames bounced back from a down 2023 season to earn second-team All-Pro honors in his first season in coordinator Jesse Minter's defense. James is one of the most versatile safeties, getting extensive time working in the slot as a box safety, a deep safety, and even as a pass rusher, where he had the second-most pressures of any safety last season.
