Lions Center Injury Shuffles Plans | Detroit News

Detroit Lions’ starting center Cade Mays is sidelined for the preseason opener after a wrist injury, forcing a lineup shuffle just days before their first game. Mays, a key offseason addition from the Panthers and a standout in training camp, may miss significant time but is expected back for the regular season. With Tate Ratledge now likely to shift to guard, Juice Scruggs — acquired in the David Montgomery trade — is stepping in at center. Coach Dan Campbell remains confident in the depth of his roster, emphasizing that opportunities will be earned. The Lions’ offensive line configuration remains fluid as they prepare for their Thursday night debut. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
