Frank Ragnow's Unretirement Tour is Already Over Frank Ragnow's return from retirement lasted only a handful of days.
NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • BLEACHERNATION.COM
Heartbreaking Frank Ragnow update could've just doomed Lions' season Frank Ragnow's return is officially off, and the Detroit Lions now face a monumental challenge to keep their season alive.
NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • SIDELIONREPORT.COM
Fails physical, won't play in 2025 The Lions announced Saturday that Ragnow failed his physical due to a Grade 3 hamstring strain, which will keep the 29-year-old sidelined for the 2025 season.
Impact The 2018 first-rounder came out of retirement Wednesday, and despite signs pointing to him being available as soon as Week 15 against the Rams, his physical came back with the diagnosis of a severe hamstring strain. Head coach Dan Campbell relayed to reporters Saturday that Ragnow disclosed to the team that he was dealing with a hamstring injury, but neither party knew its severity until the physical, per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. With Ragnow out of the picture, Graham Glasgow (knee) will remain as the Lions' starting center while Trystan Colon -- who started against the Packers on Thursday -- serves as the backup.

Coming out of retirement The Lions reinstated Ragnow (undisclosed) from the reserve/retired list Wednesday.
Impact Ragnow announced his retirement from the NFL during the offseason, and despite missing training camp, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that the veteran center is "in shape and ready to roll sooner, rather than later." Ragnow has since been placed on the exempt/commissioner permission list, and while he's eligible to play in Week 14 against the Cowboys, it's more likely that he'll be available to play in Week 15 against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Once he's cleared to play, Ragnow could reclaim his starting spot at center from Graham Glasgow (knee).
