According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are working out center Jake Lacina.
The news comes off the heels of Ross Pierschbacher suffering an injury in the Lions’ preseason opener against the New York Giants. Pierschbacher got the start to the game—and has been mostly repping with the second-team offense in practice—but third-stringer Brad Cecil was forced into the lineup for the rest of the game. It’s unclear how serious Pierschbacher’s injury is.
Lacina is an interesting prospect. At Augustana College—a D2 school—Lacina was a four-year starter and was named college football’s best center in 2019, his senior year.
