Overview

  • In Thursday and Friday practices, Graham Glasgow took first-team snaps at center while rookie Tate Ratledge shifted to right guard assignments.
  • Ratledge has leaned on advice from veteran linemen and quarterback Jared Goff as he adapts to faster snaps and blocking angles at center.
  • Left tackle Taylor Decker remains sidelined recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and is expected to resume practicing after the July 31 Hall of Fame Game.
  • All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell has returned to daily practice duties and continues to anchor Detroit’s right side.
  • Depth pieces Christian Mahogany and Kayode Awosika are being evaluated for starting guard roles as Detroit assesses its interior depth.
