Bears and Lions are reportedly checking on available cornerbacks ahead of the November 10 trade deadline.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, as relayed by Windy City Gridiron, Washington's Mike Sainristil has been mentioned, though Fowler does not sense the Commanders plan to trade him. The Bears already acquired All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from Tennessee and have also been linked to Khalil Mack, whom the Chargers have shown no sign of selling. Fowler suggested Philadelphia's Riq Woolen could be available for a Day 3 pick.
