The Detroit Lions' training camp is underway, and with it comes the anticipation of which players will make the 53-man roster. While some names are expected to shine, others might surprise us with their fate. One player who could potentially be a surprise cut is Juice Scruggs. Scruggs, acquired via the David Montgomery trade, has a decent chance of making the team as a top reserve at center and potentially at guard. However, his tenure with the Houston Texans was underwhelming, and the Lions' high-quality interior depth could threaten his position. With Christian Mahogany as the top candidate to start at left guard, and Miles Frazier, Ben Bartch, and Scruggs as reserve options, the competition is fierce. Additionally, the presence of Giovanni Manu and Colby Sorsdal adds to the mix, making Scruggs' position even more precarious. While Scruggs has a leg up on his competition, his unimpressive resume as a starter and the Lions' preference for Michael Niese could be a concern. The Lions' history of keeping castoffs around and their willingness to bring in players who don't impress in the preseason further complicates Scruggs' chances. In my opinion, Scruggs' chances of making the roster are slim, and a surprise cut is a real possibility. The Lions' depth at the position and Scruggs' lack of standout performance could lead to his departure. It's a tough call, but the reality is that the Lions have a lot of options, and Scruggs might just be the one who gets cut. What are your thoughts on Scruggs' chances of making the roster? Do you think he'll be a surprise cut? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
