To bolster an injury-hit secondary, the Detroit Lions acquired safety Andre Cisco from the New York Jets in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell noted that the team has long admired Cisco and highlighted his familiarity with Detroit’s defensive scheme and verbiage, having previously played under Jets head coach and former Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.
The 26-year-old six-year veteran joins a safety room currently missing star starter Kerby Joseph, who remains on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, and depth piece Thomas Harper on injured reserve.
This season with the Jets, Cisco has recorded 23 tackles and one sack across nine games, though he lost his starting job to Dane Belton during the preseason.
