Lions Keep Door Open for Frank Ragnow After Training-Related Hamstring Ends Comeback

His position coach stresses the decision rests with Ragnow despite optimism about his ability to play.

Overview

  • A failed physical revealed a Grade 3 hamstring tear, shutting down the four-time Pro Bowler’s 2025 return days after he left the reserve/retired list.
  • Offensive line coach Hank Fraley said the injury occurred while Ragnow trained during retirement and that he had been working out consistently.
  • Fraley believes Ragnow still has plenty left to play and says the team would welcome him back if he chooses to pursue 2026.
  • Coach Dan Campbell said there have been no further discussions with Ragnow since the medical news, and the center has not spoken publicly.
  • With Ragnow sidelined, veteran Graham Glasgow has handled starting center duties as Detroit navigates interior line absences.
