It's never an easy idea, but a cornerstone player for the Lions is moving toward a big decision with significant residual impact.
During Thanksgiving week, Detroit Lions went through the range of emotions over the span of a few days. Center Frank Ragnow was going to come out of retirement, then three days later the team announced a physical showed a Grade 3 hamstring strain (i.e., a full tear) that would prevent his return.
When Ragnow retired in June, left tackle Taylor Decker became the longest-tenured Lions' player by a good margin.
