Frank Ragnow set to unretire, return to Lions to help Detroit's OL

Offensive line help is on the way for Detroit!

All-Pro center Frank Ragnow has reportedly agreed to end his retirement and return to the Detroit Lions. The Lions appear to have validated the reports by posting a picture of Ragnow entering the playing field via the Ford Field tunnel.

Ragnow retired over the offseason following the 2025 NFL Draft. He'd battled through toe and back injuries but still played at an All-Pro level in 2024.

The Lions have struggled to replace Ragnow, to be kind. While no specific date for his return is known yet, Ragnow shouldn't have much trouble acclimating to the playbook or the players around him.
