The Detroit Lions are reportedly viewed as an obvious landing spot to acquire Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen ahead of the November 10 NFL trade deadline. With the Eagles sitting at 2-5, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Woolen's name is frequently mentioned by rival teams as a potential trade candidate to help Detroit address its struggling secondary.
