Cade Mays

No. 64 · 5th season

Mays fractured his wrist. Eight to ten weeks means he's watching midseason arrive.

Cade Mays plays center for the Detroit Lions -- the position that anchors an offense's rhythm, the player who touches the ball on every snap. A fractured small bone in his wrist is the kind of injury that sounds small until you remember what his hands do. Head coach Dan Campbell called it significant, and the timeline backs that up: eight to ten weeks on the sideline.

For a lineman, that is not a minor setback. The wrist is where the snap begins, where leverage lives. Mays will miss the stretch when the Lions are building whatever they are building this season -- and he will be counting the days to get back into it.
