Detroit Lions start Cade Mays at center against Packers

The Detroit Lions will start Cade Mays at center for their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers. Coach Dan Campbell confirmed that the team will not use a rotation at the center position, opting instead to replace Juice Scruggs with Mays, who is returning from a broken wrist. Mays had been the first-choice center in training camp before his injury, while Scruggs played well in his absence, ranking second among NFL centers by Pro Football Focus. Campbell indicated that Mays will receive a full opportunity, while Scruggs may play guard. There is ongoing consideration for a rotation at guard, depending on performance.
