Lions' Dan Campbell announces brutal injury on new $25M starting center

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said Cade Mays, the team’s new $25 million starting center, will miss a “significant” amount of time due to a wrist injury, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The injury adds to an ongoing problem at center for Detroit; it is the second straight year the position is derailed by injury, and last season the Lions even tried to bring Frank Ragnow out of retirement, though it didn’t resolve the issue. With Mays likely sidelined into the regular season, Juice Scruggs is projected as the starting center, with Michael Niese and Seth McLaughlin as potential options. Detroit will need to identify who can run the role during preseason and may consider free agency or trade.
