Already nursing several key injuries following the Week 3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, the Detroit Lions got hit with another big one on Monday. All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is reportedly week-to-week after suffering a partially torn pectoral muscle in the win.
The report from Ian Rapoport is not an easy one to process for the Lions after all the other injuries coming out of the win over Arizona. Ragnow was one of Detroit’s top-graded players by PFF from the game, though he did allow a sack. There was no indication he was injured after the game.
Per Rapoport, it’s a partial tear and that leaves Ragnow’s status more optimistic than a full tear. It’s too early to know, but with the Lions having a bye after the Monday Night Football matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4, Ragnow sitting out the coming game to help him heal for the post-bye makes some sense.
