Center battle after Mays injury

Cade Mays' wrist fracture (8-10 weeks) opens center competition. Scruggs, McLaughlin, Ratledge in mix; Scruggs had two bad snap exchanges with Goff in scrimmage, raising concerns. Lions are cross-training Ratledge at center. Campbell will play starters in next preseason game to evaluate.
