Lions see Sam LaPorta, Terrion Arnold return to practice at OTAs
Summary

The Detroit Lions experienced a boost in their OTA roster with the return of tight end Sam LaPorta and cornerback Terrion Arnold for their sixth session. Both players participated in limited drills after recovering from injuries. LaPorta was previously on injured reserve due to a back injury that required surgery last season. Meanwhile, Arnold, who ended the previous season sidelined with a shoulder injury, has been cautiously managed. Unfortunately, rookie receiver Kendrick Law suffered a torn ACL earlier in the week, overshadowing the positive updates. Coach Dan Campbell stated there will be ongoing assessments of player conditions as training camp approaches.
