Summary
8 to 10 weeks on the sideline for Cade Mays has forced Detroit to reshuffle at center after the wrist fracture cut short what Jared Goff said had been a strong camp.
Seth McLaughlin took the first-team role Monday, and Goff said the replacement "didn't miss much of a beat," praising his communication, decisiveness and command of the huddle.
Goff said he and McLaughlin had not taken a rep together before Monday, putting added urgency on building quarterback-center chemistry before the regular season.
Juice Scruggs remains in the mix once he returns from a soft-tissue injury, leaving the Lions' center competition unsettled as they search for their best five linemen.
