As the Detroit Lions ramp back up to using pads during practice, it appears that they might need to consider trading those in for some bubble wrap and Advil as another day of training camp has led to two injuries to two key defenders for the Lions.

Both CB Terrion Arnold and LB Derrick Barnes reportedly left practice early on Thursday due to injuries - a leg injury for Arnold and a hand injury for Barnes, according to multiple Lions beat reporters on the ground covering training camp.
