Terrion Arnold's NFL return on hold as Seahawks navigate legal issues

Summary

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Terrion Arnold is set to return to the NFL, but his debut is delayed. He will likely be placed on the Commissioner Exempt List after his contract is finalized.

Arnold was previously drafted by the Detroit Lions, who released him in June after his arrest. Seattle has expressed interest despite the complexities surrounding his availability for the 2026 season.
