Lions Center Cade Mays to Miss Significant Time Due to Wrist Injury

The Detroit Lions will be without center Cade Mays for an extended period due to a wrist injury. Head coach Dan Campbell announced during a press conference that Mays is expected to miss a significant amount of time, although he did not specify an exact return date.

Reports indicate that Mays has sustained a small fracture in his wrist, which is projected to keep him out for about 8-10 weeks. Mays, who is 27 years old, was signed by the Lions in free agency to enhance their offensive line.

Previously drafted in the sixth round by the Carolina Panthers in 2022, Mays started 12 games last season, contributing to the team's playoff run. Over his career, he has played in 52 games, starting 27, primarily with the Panthers.
