ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions starting cornerback Terrion Arnold said Wednesday he's "trying to come back as fast as possible" and said he was relieved that his shoulder injury doesn't appear to be season-ending.

After getting a second opinion, the Lions found out that Arnold's shoulder injury isn't as bad as they originally feared, which was a "confidence-lifter" for the second-year cornerback.

"When I first got the news, I wanted to cry," Arnold said. "I just love playing football, being out there with my teammates, and I felt like that last game was kind of like the first game that I actually felt like free.

"I had a lot of off-the-field stuff going on, like family issues and just being able to go out there and let everything go and kind of crediting my coaches."
