Lions' Frank Ragnow: Ruled out for Week 4
Rotowire
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.

Lions' Frank Ragnow: Status for Monday up in the air
Rotowire
Ragnow (calf/toe) is doubtful for Monday's contest against the Raiders, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
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 because 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.
