Christian Booher· Aug 23, 2026

Booher expects the Lions' offensive line to struggle early but still finish in the top half of the league, sees Josh Dobbs winning the backup quarterback job, and thinks Juice Scruggs will start at center until Cade Mays returns.

“I still think this is a unit that enters the season in the top-half of the league.”
