NFL insider updates Lions' Cade Mays injury, potential return timeline
NFL insider Ian Rapoport provided some extra insight on Cade Mays' injury and shared a potential return timeline.
Lions starting center Cade Mays will miss a significant portion of the season due to a fractured wrist, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport. The injury occurred during pass protection when a defensive lineman made an arm-over move and damaged Mays' wrist. The nature of the fracture means Mays is expected to be sidelined for eight to 10 weeks, which is likely to have him back around the middle of the season.
Coach Dan Campbell described the injury as "significant" and emphasized that the Lions have other options at center, including Seth McLaughlin, Juice Scruggs, and Tate Ratledge. Mays' return is anticipated for the middle of the season, with the Lions facing the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 1 and the New England Patriots on Nov. 15.
