Detroit Lions Center Cade Mays Will Miss "Significant" Time with Wrist Injury
Dan Campbell said Mays will miss significant time and return only later in the regular season, leaving the Lions to open a center competition.
- On Monday, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced center Cade Mays will miss "significant" time after suffering a wrist injury during practice on Sunday.
- The Lions signed Mays to a three-year, $25M deal this offseason to anchor the offensive line, where he had taken virtually all first-team reps at center this summer.
- Campbell said Mays was injured "in protection" when a "D-lineman made an arm-over move and chopped at it," with NFL Network reporting an eight to 10-week recovery timeline.
- With Mays sidelined, the Lions will look to Seth McLaughlin and Juice Scruggs to compete for the starting center job, with McLaughlin starting Thursday's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
- "If this goes into the season, it does. We will find the best five," Campbell said, as the team evaluates personnel including Tate Ratledge to ensure offensive line stability.
