The medical exam revealed a Grade 3 hamstring strain that will keep him from participating for the remainder of the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>For that reason, Frank will not be rejoining the Lions. Frank has always been a team-first guy and is a true warrior. He will forever be a Lion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the news wasn\u2019t positive for fans who wanted to see Ragnow consider an offseason of physical rehabilitation for a potential return in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>While making his weekly radio appearance on 97.1 The Ticket, Lions quarterback Jared Goff said that he doesn\u2019t anticipate that a Ragnow return in 2026 was a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s in the cards at all,\u201d Goff said of Ragnow playing in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course I\u2019ll talk to Frank. I just don\u2019t think his interest level is there,\u201d he continued.<br \/>\n____________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h2>Frank Ragnow Attempted A Return To The Detroit Lions But Fell Short<\/h2>\n<p>Ragnow, who was Detroit\u2019s first round pick (20th overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft, started 96 games for the Lions during his NFL career, during which he earned four Pro Bowl appearances following his collegiate career at Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>He also earned three second-team All-Pro selections with the team.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, he became the highest-paid center in the NFL at the time with a four-year, $54 million extension.<\/p>\n<p>____________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h2>Lions Coach Dan Campbell May Utilize Tate Ratledge At Center Next Season<\/h2>\n<p>Tate Ratlege, the Lions\u2019 second round pick (57th overall), initially began Training Camp as Detroit\u2019s center before eventually pivoting to right guard, and ultimately played more offensive snaps than any other player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been growth, and that\u2019s really what you want out of your rookies,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cYou want to feel like that there has been growth taking place. And being between Graham (Glasgow) for most of the year, and (Penei) Sewell has helped. But there\u2019s a ton of growth left and he\u2019s going to have to take another step next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreferably this next game coming up, take another baby step here. But he\u2019s going to need to take another step, which he\u2019s got that and he\u2019s capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Campbell also appeared to indicate a \u201cwait and see\u201d style plan for Ratledge moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that we were \u2014 we felt like he could be a center and that\u2019s still not off the table,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cWe watched him at guard; he played right guard in college. He\u2019s a good athlete. He\u2019s a big man. He can move. So, we\u2019ll find out. I mean, we\u2019ll find out.\u201d<br \/>\nFollowing Ragnow\u2019s retirement, the Lions also moved Graham Glasgow from guard to center.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest update from Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff on the yet-to-be-played 2026 NFL season will disappoint the fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40965,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
