DETROIT — Detroit center Frank Ragnow, a 4-time Pro Bowl selection who was key to coach Dan Campbell's Lions revival, announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday after 7 seasons.
Ragnow, 29, posted to social media that he has tried to convince himself he's feeling well enough to play, “but I'm not,” he said.
