Training camp snaps: Final thoughts as preseason ends (Detroit Lions: ALLEN PARK, Mich.—It was a footnote on the 2015 first-round pick swap by Detroit and Denver, but the Lions remain thrilled that they acquired OL Manny Ramirez in that deal. Cut by Detroit back in 2010 before landing in Denver, Ramirez is now the most veteran member of the offensive line. And both GM Martin Mayhew and coach Jim Caldwell already were praising his versatility before Larry Warford's preseason injury. Ramirez likely will start even if Warford is healthy, but the coaching staff is leaving open the option of using him ... well, anywhere. With a new starter at center (Travis Swanson) and questions about RT LaAdrian Waddle's health, Ramirez may see work at several spots before all is said and done. -CB):   http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/09/04/2015-nfl-training-camp-snap-judgments
