Overview

  • Glasgow shifted from guard to center in July and has secured the starting role after delivering error-free performances in recent padded drills.
  • Internal metrics and coaching praise highlight Glasgow’s clean reps and opponents’ inability to exploit Detroit’s interior line during camp.
  • Frank Ragnow’s June retirement created the vacancy at center, and Glasgow’s adaptability has restored stability in the pivot position.
  • Second-round pick Tate Ratledge and first-rounder Tyleik Williams will sit out Thursday’s Hall of Fame preseason opener to maximize practice repetitions.
  • Coach Dan Campbell has emphasized cautious rookie integration to protect pocket health and preserve the unit’s chemistry before live game action.
