Coming off an All-Pro season, Frank Ragnow was expected to be an absolute force in 2021—his third year in the NFL. As an established top-five center in this league, Ragnow was one of Detroit’s better players and the literal centerpiece to an offensive line that would establish the running game back in Detroit and help fortify a strong, physical attitude for the new era of Lions football.
Unfortunately, Ragnow suffered a turf toe injury in the fourth game of the season, and it was a pretty serious one. Serious enough to sideline Ragnow for the rest of the season.
