Lions could reunite with familiar face in trade deadline move
The Detroit Lions could be back with a former player.
The NFL trade deadline approaches on November 10, and the Detroit Lions are considering potential moves to bolster their roster. After losing linebacker Jack Campbell to injury, the Lions are looking to address defensive needs. According to ESPN's Bill Barnwell, one possible trade involves acquiring cornerback Mike Hughes. Hughes previously played for the Lions in 2022 before joining the Falcons in free agency.
The 29-year-old has been a consistent starter at corner for Atlanta, making him an attractive option for Detroit's defensive strategy. With General Manager Brad Holmes known for his cost-effective deals, a trade for Hughes could be a savvy move for the Lions, staying within budget while providing valuable depth at the position.
