The Detroit Lions have scheduled a visit with defensive tackle C.J. Mosley, who was recently released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL Network reporter Michelle Beisner. Mosley is reportedly flying into Detroit tonight and will meet with members of the coaching staff.



Mosley was released after spending the past three seasons in Jacksonville. He started 13 games in 2012 and had a career-high 45 tackles. He also had 21/2 sacks and was slated to earn $2.475 million in 2013.

A former sixth-round pick by Minnesota in 2005, Mosley has played for the Vikings, New York Jets, Cleveland and Jacksonville in eight NFL seasons.

Lions fans might remember Mosley for his hit on quarterback Matthew Stafford a few years ago.



Detroit is looking for a defensive tackle to replace Corey Williams, who is currently an unrestricted free agent, and Sammie Hill, who signed with the Tennessee Titans. Ogemdi Nwagbuo, Jimmy Saddler-McQueen, Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley are the current defensive tackles under contract with the Lions.

The Lions continue to leave no stone unturned in free agency.

Last week, the Lions hosted receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, but he signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. Detroit previously hosted offensive guard Brandon Moore, but he left without a contract.
