Overview
- Head coach Dan Campbell said he does not expect Ratledge to take snaps at center in the season finale, though he reiterated the position remains a future option.
- The rookie has started all 16 games at right guard, logging roughly 1,014 snaps there and zero at center this season.
- Following Frank Ragnow’s retirement, Graham Glasgow moved to center, where Pro Football Focus rates him below average and injuries have limited his availability.
- Kingsley Eguakun is expected to finish the year with a third consecutive start at center, and Glasgow’s role going forward is uncertain despite being under contract.
- Detroit’s offensive line has ranked around the middle of the league by PFF, and its recent struggles have coincided with a three-game losing streak that underscores the need for a long-term solution.
