Lions face center depth issues ahead of preseason finale

The Detroit Lions are dealing with significant injuries at center as training camp concludes. Starter Cade Mays is sidelined with a fractured wrist, and Seth McLaughlin is absent for an unknown reason, leaving the Lions with only backup Juice Scruggs as the healthy center. Other injured players include running back Isiah Pacheco, guards Michael Niese and Miles Frazier, and several safeties. Additionally, the Lions have placed Payton Turner on injured reserve, complicating their roster further. The team aims to manage these injuries leading into the Saturday preseason finale.
