Arnold missed games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before the bye because of a shoulder injury he suffered in a Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Lions played without their entire starting secondary against the Bucs, but still held Tampa to a season-low nine points.
Along with Arnold, starting safety Brian Branch will return Sunday after serving a one-game suspension, though the Lions are still without safety Kerby Joseph and cornerback D.J. Reed. The Lions listed Joseph as out for Sunday because of a knee injury, while Reed told the Free Press he remains probably a couple weeks away from returning from the strained hamstring that has him on injured reserve.

Along with Joseph, the Lions ruled out running back Craig Reynolds (hamstring) and linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (knee) for Sunday and listed Taylor Decker (shoulder), Avonte Maddox (hamstring), Sione Vaki (groin) and Daniel Thomas (forearm) as questionable.
Campbell said Decker likely will play Sunday.
Bills Legend Eric Moulds Sells Final Game-Worn Jersey to Support Teammate Battling Parkinson’s Disease
Buffalo, NY – November 1, 2025
In a gesture that’s brought a wave of emotion across
game-worn jersey from his final season to support a former teammate now facing the hardest battle of his life.
For fans who remember the late ’90s and early 2000s, Moulds was the lone constant in an era of instability. Known for his precision routes, contested catches, and quiet leadership, he became the franchise’s beacon of hope through years of quarterback turnover. From 1996 to 2005, he posted
675 receptions, 9,096 yards, and 48 touchdowns, including a historic 100-catch season in 2002, earning three Pro Bowl selections and a permanent place among the Bills’ all-time greats.
That former teammate is Takeo Spikes, the relentless linebacker who commanded Buffalo’s defense with passion and authority. During his time with the team (2003–2005), Spikes recorded over 200 tackles
, earned two Pro Bowls and an All-Pro selection in 2003, and became known as the emotional core of the defense — the “defensive quarterback” who brought fire to every down.
💬 “We carried this team through the storms — him on defense, me on offense,” Moulds said quietly. “Now that he’s fighting something far tougher than any Sunday battle, I want this jersey to fight for him — the same way he fought for Buffalo.”
Spikes, beloved for his intensity and leadership, has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a neurological disorder that has gradually affected his movement and coordination. Despite the diagnosis, those close to him say his trademark energy and optimism haven’t faded — he continues to train, mentor young athletes, and advocate for player health awareness.
Moulds’ decision to sell his final jersey isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about brotherhood. The proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Bills Alumni Health & Wellness Fund
, supporting Spikes’ treatment and ongoing medical research into Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative conditions among retired NFL players.
💬 “This jersey carried our pride, our pain, and our fight,” Moulds reflected.
