Less than 24 hours before the Green Bay Packers visit the Detroit Lions in a heavyweight Thanksgiving showdown, the defending NFC North champions caught everyone off guard by announcing that All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is coming out of retirement.
It's one move that transforms the Lions' offense, addressing the concerns at center while allowing Graham Glasgow to move back to guard. Essentially, his return fixes two major issues for Detroit, which makes the Lions a far more daunting prospect down the stretch in a fascinating NFC North race.
However, the Packers do not have to worry about facing Ragnow on Thanksgiving Day.
