Lions Training Camp: Ratledge Shifts to Center Amidst Player Returns

The Detroit Lions were back in full pads for their thirteenth practice of the 2026 preseason on Sunday. The session marked a gradual return to more intense work as the team continues its preparations.

Notable developments included some unexpected absences from practice, though the Lions also saw positive returns from a couple of players who had been sidelined. Both Juice Scruggs and Derrick Moore were back on the field participating in drills.

A significant positional adjustment observed was Tate Ratledge receiving work at the center position. This move, while not a permanent shift, indicates the coaching staff is exploring versatility and depth across the offensive line during camp.
