Lions assess center depth ahead of final roster cuts

The Detroit Lions are evaluating their center position as injuries pose a challenge ahead of final roster cuts. Juice Scruggs has emerged as the temporary starter following Cade Mays' wrist injury, but the Lions are thin at the position. Multiple players, including Michael Niese and Seth McLaughlin, have dealt with injuries, prompting the addition of Gus Hartwig. With the waiver wire imminent, General Manager Brad Holmes will have opportunities to strengthen the offensive line before the season begins.
