Camp battles: Is the Lions' starting center job up for grabs?

All signs point to Travis Swanson being the Detroit Lions' starting center, but could Manny Ramirez beat him out in training camp?

The situation at center is very similar to the situation at left guard for the Detroit Lions going into training camp. A young, recent draft pick is the presumed starter at each position, but a veteran acquired via a trade is hoping to break into the starting lineup with a strong performance during training camp. It seems unlikely that the veteran will actually become a starter as long as the recent draft picks stay healthy, but might the door be slightly open at center?
