O-line depth crisis

Only seven offensive linemen are projected to make the roster, with Scruggs starting at center and Frazier/Borom as the only backups. Manu, Sorsdal, and others are not cutting it. Borom and Frazier are falling in the competition. The Lions are expected to seek veteran help (Zeitler, Tomlinson, Hernandez) to shore up protection for Goff and the run game. Bartch is out. New: Michael Niese's knee injury further thins the center room; Scruggs is now the favorite, McLaughlin a dark horse, Ratledge a project.
