Overview

  • The Lions said Ragnow failed his physical and that a Grade 3 hamstring strain will keep him out for the rest of the regular season.
  • He reported to the team facility Friday for meetings and medical clearance before the injury was identified during the exam.
  • Detroit had removed Ragnow from the reserve/retired list on Wednesday to enable a late-season return that is now off.
  • His plans beyond 2025 are unclear, with multiple reports noting the team’s statement suggests a 2026 comeback may be unlikely.
  • Detroit, now 7-5 after the Thanksgiving loss, must proceed without him as Graham Glasgow and Christian Mahogany deal with injuries, with the Cowboys up next on Thursday.
