The 2024 NFL trade deadline is a week away but the Detroit Lions might not need all of that time to make a move to help their ailing defensive line.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday from Allen Park the team still is looking at options on the trade front. Asked if he feels a deal is imminent, Campbell said, "Could be. Yeah, it could be."

When asked if general manager Brad Holmes has come to him with any deal, Campbell playfully jumped in the air and said, "Yeah, it could be."

The Lions have lost their top three edge rushers to potentially season-ending injuries and played Sunday's 52-14 win over the Tennessee Titans without a fourth player.

Aidan Hutchinson, who leads the team with 7½ sacks, broke his left leg and is out four to six months. Marcus Davenport, the team's other starting defensive end to open the season, is out for the year with a torn triceps. Strongside linebacker Derrick Barnes could miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. And Josh Paschal did not play against the Titans for medical reasons.

Paschal said he expects to return for this week's showdown against the Green Bay Packers, and Campbell said the Lions were pleased with some of the pass rush production they got from veteran outside linebacker Al-Quadin Muhammad as a practice squad elevation against the Titans.

Muhammad was not credited with a tackle in the game, but had six quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. The Lions had just five quarterback hits for the game.

"He did some things for us," Campbell said. "He was active. He played aggressive. He was physical, and so he went in there and really gave us a good day’s work which is exactly what we talked about. There’s a couple things we got to clean up mentally with him and like you brought up some of the rush, there was about three of them in there where we get a little bit better maybe, a couple things he does, then it may help around the perimeter with (Alim McNeill) and some of those other things, so those are just little things to clean up. But man, I thought he came in and gave us a good day’s work, and it’s certainly something to build off of."

Campbell has said the Lions (6-1) will not be in a rush to add defensive help before next Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, and won't be swayed by moves other teams make.

The Kansas City Chiefs, the only NFL team with a better record than the Lions at 7-0, have made two trades in the past week, adding receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Titans last week and trading for pass rusher Josh Uche from the New England Patriots on Monday.

Campbell has said on multiple occasions the Lions are more likely to add a complementary pass rusher before the trade deadline than a star.

"We know when the deadline is," Campbell said Monday. "We’ve known what that is. We’re still talking about it and we’re still working through it.

"I’m not concerned (about how our pass rush against the Titans). There’s other ways at creating pressure and, yeah, would you like a little more? Yeah, we’d like a little bit more. But there was a number of plays in there, too, where they got the ball out of their hand. They had some empty that they showed we thought they’d do a little bit, they did more than we thought so the ball comes out pretty quick. They had a couple things where they were attacking us in man coverage that were good so you can get the ball out. But believe — we’re aware, and we’re still looking at it, but no, I wouldn’t say we’re in panic mode."
