Overview
- The Lions completed an in‑season trade for safety Andre Cisco, which sources report took place Monday, Nov. 9, to address short‑handed and inconsistent play in Detroit’s secondary.
- Coach Dan Campbell confirmed Cisco is traveling with the team to Munich for the Week 10 game against the New England Patriots and that the plan is to get him into the game.
- How many snaps Cisco will play has not been finalized, but coaches intend to use him quickly because he can line up at free safety, in the slot or in nickel/dime subpackages.
- Reports say Detroit surrendered a late sixth‑round pick for the move and Cisco is on a one‑year, inexpensive deal, making the addition a low‑cost way to add experienced depth.
- Cisco is a 2021 third‑round pick who spent time with Jacksonville and the Jets, and his mix of ball‑hawking plays and run support gives the Lions a more versatile option to cover for injured or unavailable starters.
