The Detroit Lions are off to a 2-1 start this season. Their 20-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday featured multiple defensive stands late in the game that sealed the win. Their offense came to life early on, building a 20-7 lead in the second quarter.
However, that offense is going to be without a key player for a few months (at least) this season.

According to Lions reporter Eric Woodyard:
#Lions HC Dan Campbell confirms that C Frank Ragnow has a torn pec on 97.1’s Costa And Jansen. He said Frank wants to go, but they’re not entirely sure what to do with him yet.
“We’ll do what’s best for him and what’s best for us in the moment,” he said.
Jimmy Liao of the Lions Wire further elaborated on how long Ragnow may be out:
Sounds like the pec isn’t surgical for Frank Ragnow. Can heal on its own.
- -TJ watt returned in 8wks without surgery
- -Marcus Williams returned in 4wks without surgery
Depends on severity of the tear….
Detroit being without their all-pro center for at least a month, possible two, is going to be tough for their offense to overcome. Here is a look at Ragnow’s durability throughout the course of his career:
