Lions notes: Ragnow questionable for opener, but optimistic after practicing Friday

Allen Park — Frank Ragnow is no stranger to injury, but they never get any easier.

A severe ankle sprain sidelined him at the end of his senior season in college, and he missed some time because of a Laryngeal fracture in 2020, as well as the final 13 games last year because of a toe injury.

More than the physical pain, there are mental hurdles Ragnow has had to overcome each time, primarily the feeling he's letting his teammates down. So when he felt a pop in his groin halfway through Wednesday's practice, his mind raced.
