NFL Teams Weigh Trade-Deadline Moves

The Detroit Lions are considering trade help before the deadline, with proposals including Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat and Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen; earlier-mentioned cornerback possibilities include Charvarius Ward, Donte Jackson and Tarheeb Still, though no negotiations were confirmed. Detroit has won two straight and improved defensively, but one report says additional help could aid its playoff hopes. The Raiders face concerns about their offensive line after seven games of protection and drive-finishing struggles, while quarterback Kirk Cousins has cited failures to turn scoring chances into touchdowns. Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is also a potential trade candidate amid a reduced role and declining production, with the Chargers floated as a possible destination.
