Summary

The Detroit Lions' left guard competition remains unresolved as training camp continues. Head coach Dan Campbell indicated that Christian Mahogany, along with Juice Scruggs and Ben Bartch, is vying for the starting position. Mahogany, who started 11 games last season, is being evaluated alongside Scruggs and Bartch as the team focuses on building a stronger offensive line after a disappointing 9-8 finish in 2025. Campbell noted that Mahogany has shown physical strength but needs to improve consistency. The Lions aim to finalize their offensive line group ahead of the upcoming season.
