The 2015 season has ended a bit prematurely for second-year center Travis Swanson.
After suffering a shoulder injury last week vs. San Francisco, and sitting out of practice all week, Swanson has been ruled out for Sunday’s game in Chicago. The Lions will start Manny Ramirez at center and either Gabe Ikard or Braxton Cave will be the backup on game day.
This isn't foreign territory for Ramirez. He started in place of Swanson Week 13 vs. Green Bay, when Swanson missed the game because of an ankle injury.
