Ragnow (pectoral) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimation, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Ragnow's full practice estimation Wednesday is an indication that the 28-year-old offensive lineman is past the pectoral injury that held him out of the Lions' Week 4 win over the Seahawks. Now that Ragnow is at full health once again, he's expected to serve as Detroit's top center.
Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Ragnow (pectoral) was back at practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Ragnow sat out of Detroit's contest in Week 4 with a pectoral issue before their bye in Week 5, but it now appears he may be on track to return to the field for Week 6. The Lions' first official practice report of the week Wednesday should give a better indication of his status.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that Ragnow (pectoral) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Seahawks, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Ragnow, who is tending to a partial pec tear, will sit out the Week 4 game and then benefit from a Week 5 bye, potentially allowing him to return to the field Week 6 versus the Cowboys on Oct. 13. Graham Glasgow will likely slide over from left guard to start at center until Ragnow is ready to go. Ragnow is a pillar of the Lions' offensive line, so the team should prioritize his long-term health above all else.
Ragnow is week-to-week after suffering a partial tear to his pec during Sunday's 20-13 win at Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Ragnow didn't miss a snap of the Lions' contest in Week 3 despite the injury, a testament to his ability to play through pain. Detroit may exercise some caution with their standout center, however, potentially creating an opening for backup Michael Niese to see some playing time.
Ragnow has ramped up his preperation recently in hopes of making his season debut. While it appears to be nearing, he will have to wait another week before potentially suiting up. As a result, Graham Glasgow is expected to start at center.
Head coach Dan Campbell noted Saturday that it's "hard to say" whether Ragnow will be able to play or not, but the coach did say that the "good news" was that the center has an additional day to recover since the Lions play Monday night. Birkett notes that Detroit has been giving Ragnow one day off of practice per week to rest a toe injury he has dealt with since the 2021 season. If Ragnow is unable to suit up Monday, Graham Glasgow -- who has started at both guard positions this season -- is expected to shift to center while Kayode Awosika would start at left guard.
