What happened: The Detroit Lions added safety Andre Cisco to reinforce their defensive secondary ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Detroit acquired Cisco on an expiring contract to secure back-end stability for the second half of the season.
Why it matters: Detroit enters the deadline sitting at 6-2 and holding the NFC's No. 6 playoff seed after four consecutive wins. Bolstering pass defense provides crucial depth as the Lions contend with Green Bay for position in a crowded conference race.
By the numbers: Detroit is 6-2 through eight games in 2026, holding the NFC No. 6 seed on a four-game winning streak.
What to watch: The NFL trade deadline concludes Tuesday as contenders finalize roster additions for the postseason stretch.
