The Detroit Lions' hopes of Frank Ragnow's return to the field have been dealt a significant blow. The four-time Pro Bowl center, who announced his intention to rejoin the team earlier this week, has failed to pass the mandatory physical exam due to a Grade 3 hamstring strain. The injury, which involves a complete or near-complete tear of the muscle-tendon unit, is one of the most severe types of hamstring injuries. According to medical experts, a full recovery can take anywhere from 3-6 months for most athletes and up to 9 months for elite professionals. In a statement, the Lions announced that Ragnow will not be rejoining the team for the remainder of the regular season. Despite this setback, the team expressed their appreciation for Ragnow's dedication and commitment to the team. 'Frank has always been a team-first guy and is a true warrior. He will forever be a Lion,' the statement read. Ragnow's journey back to the field will be a long and challenging one. However, with a strong rehabilitation program and a commitment to his health, he may have a chance to make a comeback in the near future. The Lions still hold his contractual rights for two seasons, leaving the door open for a potential return in the future.
