Frank Ragnow's Surprise Return: A Game-Changer for the Lions?

Frank Ragnow, the Detroit Lions' former center, is making a comeback. This news comes after Coach Dan Campbell had said that Ragnow's return was unlikely. The Lions shared a photo of Ragnow running out of the tunnel at Ford Field, confirming the news. Ragnow, who is only 29 years old, was a first-round pick in 2018 and has played in 96 regular-season games. The Lions' offense has been struggling lately. Opponents have figured out how to pressure quarterback Jared Goff. They rush him from the middle and move him off his spot. This makes Goff less effective as a passer. Ragnow's return could be a big help. He is known for his strength and ability to protect the quarterback. It's not clear when Ragnow will officially join the team again. It's also not clear if he will start right away, replacing Graham Glasgow. The sooner Ragnow returns, the better. The Lions are currently not among the top seven teams in the NFC. A loss to the Packers on Thursday would make their chances of making the playoffs even slimmer. The Lions are in a tough spot. They need to win their division or secure one of the three wild-card berths to make the playoffs. Ragnow's return could be a big step in the right direction. It's a critical time for the team, and every move counts.
