Lions Make No Further Moves Before Trade Deadline

Detroit stood pat on the final day of the NFL trade deadline, leaving Cisco as the Lions’ only acquisition this season. The team gave the Jets a 2028 sixth-round pick for the safety on Monday, then made no further additions despite possible options being available Tuesday.

The Lions had been viewed as candidates to bolster their defense after Campbell, Reed and Wonnum were sidelined for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Campbell is on injured reserve. Detroit did not add defensive depth before its late-season schedule begins.

The Lions are second in the NFC North behind the Chicago Bears, with all four teams in the division holding winning records and currently in the playoff picture. Chicago traded multiple picks to Tennessee for defensive lineman Jeffrey Simmons, while Minnesota brought back veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Detroit’s upcoming run starts with a trip to Munich to face the New England Patriots, followed by home games against Tampa Bay and Chicago, including the Thanksgiving matchup. Those three games fall within 11 days. The Lions later visit Minnesota in Week 15, host the New York Giants in Week 16, then close with road games against Chicago and Green Bay.
