Despite plenty of injuries in 2012 (like 2011), the Lions secondary is playing better in 2012 (unlike 2011).

But that’s not keeping them from trying to get better. Adam Caplan reports that the Lions are hosting Routt on Friday.

We reported last night that Routt is due to visit an NFC team this week and an AFC team next week. The Dolphins had previously been linked to Routt, but our buddy Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald thereafter shot that down.

Routt has been cut by the Raiders and the Chiefs this year. He has earned $11 million from those two teams, and he may get a chance to earn even more.
