Guard Frank Ragnow had a wardrobe malfunction for the Lions on Sunday with a busted left shoe.
Fortunately for the rookie, the shoe — and not his surgically repaired ankle — was the only casualty in the Ford Field finale, a 27-9 loss to Minnesota.
Early in the second quarter, the sole of Ragnow’s shoe split loose from the rest. After trying to run off the field, Ragnow hit the ground short of the Lions’ sideline and was tended to by trainers on the field checking on his left ankle.
“I’m not really sure how they’re put together there, but I know there’s probably a lot of force working through them,” coach Matt Patricia said Monday of the 308-pound rookie.
