Lions Acquire IOL Juice Scruggs in Trade with Texans

The Detroit Lions acquired interior offensive lineman Juice Scruggs from the Houston Texans as part of the trade that sent David Montgomery to Houston. Scruggs brings 1,663 career snaps and experience at both guard spots and center, though his development was fragmented in Houston due to frequent position shifts. He profiles as a below-average spot starter at guard but has upside at center. The Lions view him as a value-add with developmental potential, and with $0 guaranteed remaining on his contract, it's a low-risk evaluation year for the team.
