NFL writer names one of Lions' most vulnerable trade pieces

As the Detroit Lions get closer to kickoff against the Green Bay Packers, they're also hoping that their lingering injury luck - or the lack of it - finally washes off of them.

With several key defenders like Alim McNeil, Josh Paschal, and Levi Onwuzurike already dealing with injury woes headed into the year, it's been huge for the Lions to make sure their other starters and their minimal defensive line depth stays healthy ahead of Week 1.

With this in mind, one NFL writer, Logan Ulrich with NFL Trade Rumors, has suggested that at least one of the Lions' healthy defensive linemen should be a trade chip if the team decides to make moves in-season like they were forced to do last year: defensive tackle Brodric Martin.
