Graham Glasgow Played Through a Nasty Injury — And Now He’s Thriving
Detroit Lions lineman Graham Glasgow just revealed he was way more banged up than anyone knew during last season’s playoff loss to the Commanders — and honestly, it explains a lot.
Turns out Glasgow suffered a high ankle sprain early in that game. But with teammate Kevin Zeitler already out, Glasgow pushed through and stayed on the field. Looking back, he wishes he hadn’t.
“In hindsight, he admits he should have come out of the game…”
The result? He gave up nine pressures — one of the worst games of his career. But the real kicker? That injury didn’t just mess with him for a week or two. It stuck around until March.
Fast-Forward: New Role, Fresh Start
Now at training camp and finally healthy, Glasgow is getting a fresh shot at a new position — and he’s loving it. After starting out at right guard, he’s now shifting to center, and it turns out he might be built for it.
“Center’s fun. I like the mental load… I think that’s something I’m pretty good at,” Glasgow said.
And the timing couldn’t be better. With Frank Ragnow retired, the Lions need someone solid to take over in the middle. Glasgow could be that guy — especially with Christian Mahogany and Tate Ratledge lining up beside him.
Why It Matters
Glasgow’s grit last season is a perfect example of the toughness Dan Campbell demands — but his honesty now shows leadership. If this new setup works, the Lions may have found their next rock at center.
