Key Lions offensive lineman gets official diagnosis on ankle injury

While the Detroit Lions and their fans keep linebacker Jack Campbell in their prayers , they received some encouraging news on offensive lineman Cade Mays. The 27-year-old center suffered a low ankle sprain, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Any injury is obviously unwelcome, especially in a fiercely competitive NFC North, but this is a positive update all things considered. Fans may struggle to be optimistic, however. Mays missed the first six games of the campaign due to a fractured wrist and only played 22 snaps in Sunday’s 19-15 win versus the formerly undefeated Minnesota Vikings .
