Dan Campbell splits left guard snaps between Christian Mahogany and Ben Bartch

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that the team will rotate Christian Mahogany and Ben Bartch at left guard for the season opener against the New Orleans Saints. Both players will split first-team repetitions throughout the practice week as the team looks to solidify its interior offensive line. The Lions have dealt with injuries among their blockers throughout the summer, leading to adjustments across the front five. Cade Mays is on injured reserve, and Juice Scruggs is handling center duties, while Blake Miller is expected to start at right tackle. Campbell signaled that the starting job remains open, with the rotation continuing into Sunday's game to evaluate both Mahogany's physical style and Bartch's veteran experience. The team continues to search for its most effective combination of linemen to protect the quarterback.
