The Detroit Lions will be without their 29-year-old center Frank Ragnow for the entire season due to a hamstring strain. Ragnow was recently reinstated off the retirement list, providing hope for the team, but the injury has dashed those plans.
The Lions had hoped Ragnow's return would bolster their offensive line, but the hamstring injury means he will miss significant playing time, dealing a significant blow to the team's plans.
"The move to reinstate Ragnow was welcomed by the Lions," indicating their high expectations for his contribution before the injury.
Frank Ragnow’s unexpected injury after returning from retirement significantly weakens the Lions’ lineup, highlighting challenges in maintaining key player health.
