Discussion: Should the Lions play their starting offensive line in preseason?

The Detroit Lions have an offensive line quandary: what is more important, establishing chemistry between linemen or avoiding unnecessary injury risk?

Though the tackle spots are still anchored by Penei Sewell and a now-activated Taylor Decker, the interior faces a shakeup from last season. Christian Mahogany enters the starting lineup with just two career starts to his name. Veteran Graham Glasgow is shaping up to be the starting center. Rookie Tate Ratledge, though still contending for the center spot, is likely penciled in as a starting guard. With so much change up front, is it worth giving the offensive line some live game snaps in preseason?
