In a stunning U-turn, Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow is coming back to the team after a brief retirement. NFL insider Ian Rapoport confirmed the news on Wednesday, saying the Lions' offense has just gotten a significant boost. Rapoport broke the news on X, formerly Twitter, stating that Ragnow is 'in shape and ready to roll sooner, rather than later.' The Lions official social media account also confirmed Ragnow's decision, saying 'The #Lions offensive line just got a lot better, as one of the game's greats will return.' Ragnow, 29, initially retired in June, citing health concerns as his primary reason. 'I've tried to convince myself that I'm feeling good, but I'm not, and it's time to prioritize my health and my family's future,' he said in a heartfelt social media post at the time. He also expressed his gratitude towards the Lions organization and fans for their support. The Lions have released their updated depth chart, which includes several key players.
