With 'survivor's guilt' behind him, Frank Ragnow ready to lead Detroit Lions OL again

As much as he hated it at the time, Frank Ragnow admits now that undergoing toe surgery last October was the right move for his career.

Ragnow has been a regular participant in Detroit Lions practices since the spring and has shown no residual from the torn plantar plate that prematurely ended his season in 2021.

“It feels good,” Ragnow said Tuesday. “Obviously last year was really, really, really frustrating. It’s really hard to explain not being out there. It’s almost like survivor’s guilt. Your guys are all out there battling and you’re kind of stuck there, especially with a frickin’ toe.
