Eric Winston expected to meet with Lions soon

Former Texans' RT Eric Winston will meet with Lions' officials in the near future, according to multiple reports. Winston's proficiency as a run blocker would be a welcome addition to a Lions' O-line that struggled in that area during the 2011 season. The six-year veteran started 87 of 92 career games played before being released by Houston on Monday. Winston is also expected to meet with the Rams, Chiefs and Ravens.

Winston (Texans) left the Dolphins' facility without a contract Wednesday, and the free agent OT pool is getting thinner by the day. Miami could opt to draft OT Riley Reiff (Iowa) with the No. 8 selection. But the trading of WR Brandon Marshall to the Bears creates another gaping hole, seemingly making drafting an OL unlikely.
