Glasgow’s fate was set when the Lions traded Montgomery, as they received offensive lineman Juice Scruggs along with two draft picks.

The former University of Michigan walk-on was selected with the No. 95 pick in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft by the Lions.

Glasgow spent four seasons with Detroit before signing a four-year, $44 million deal with the Denver Broncos in 2020, only to be released in 2023.

He re-signed with the Lions the same year for his second stint with the organization until he was released on March 2.

As a Lion, Glasgow was a depth piece along the interior line as a rookie who showed flashes of versatility as he played both guard and center.

During the 2025 season, he started in 14 games and played in 15.

As a member of the Michigan Wolverines, Glasgow was a three-year starter who started in 32 of 47 games during his five years from 2011 to 2015

Glasgow was named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention during his final season with the men in maize, and he was named to the Academic All-Big Ten team three consecutive years from 2013 to 2015.
