Coach Campbell with an injury update on Cade Mays https://t.co/kesWbECPeT Via @Lions on X

What happened: Coach Campbell said Mays will miss a "significant" amount of time. The injury occurred during preseason preparations.

Why it matters: The absence removes the projected center from work with a rebuilt interior line. Mays joined his new club this offseason to stabilize the position.

What to watch: Campbell's next update could clarify whether Mays remains on track to return during the 2026 season.
