Detroit — After a midweek scare, a groin injury suffered during Wednesday's practice, Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow is active for the team's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
It's a relief for the Lions, who are already dealing with the loss of one starter along the offensive line, having placed guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai on injured reserve to start the week. It's also a relief for Ragnow, who missed the final 13 games last season after suffering a toe injury.
"Wednesday, I was pretty down, not gonna lie, after last year's deal," Ragnow said on Friday.
