Detroit Lions fans received some unsettling news this week as updates surrounding star center Frank Ragnow raised new concerns about his availability moving forward. The veteran lineman, who came out of retirement earlier this season to help stabilize Detroit’s offense, is now dealing with a fresh setback — one that arrives at the worst possible moment.
According to team sources, the Lions have been monitoring Ragnow closely after he aggravated a lingering lower-body issue that has bothered him for weeks. While he’s been battling through pain, the latest evaluation reportedly revealed more severity than expected, leaving the coaching staff unsure of how soon he’ll be back at full strength. With the Lions already fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive, losing the anchor of their offensive line would be a major blow.
Ragnow’s toughness has never been questioned — he’s played through injuries that would sideline most players — but even Detroit knows that pushing him too far could backfire. For now, the team is weighing their options, exploring potential rotations on the line, and hoping Ragnow’s condition improves quickly. Lions fans can only wait and hope their Pro Bowl center avoids missing extended time at a moment when the offense needs stability more than ever.
