Terrion Arnold's NFL Leave Watch | Seattle Seahawks News

Seahawks cornerback Terrion Arnold is starting the 2026 season on paid leave after being charged with eight felonies in an alleged armed robbery and kidnapping — but he’s still in the building, learning defense and staying ready. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Arnold remains part of the program, raising the big question: when — or if — he’ll play. While NFL policy usually sidelines players until legal matters are resolved, precedent exists: safety Jabrill Peppers returned for seven games before his acquittal in 2024. Arnold’s next court date is October 5, with no trial set yet — and it’s unlikely his case will close before the season ends unless a plea deal emerges. The league’s next move will determine whether Arnold gets back on the field later this year — and everyone’s watching.
