Signed a four-year, $54 million contract with the Lions in May of 2021.
Moved back to reserve/retired list
The Lions placed Ragnow (hamstring) on the reserve/retired list Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Ragnow came out retirement Wednesday in an attempt to bolster the Lions' offensive line, but that comeback was short-lived after he failed his physical due to a Grade 3 hamstring strain. He has been placed back on the reserve/retired list, and it remains to be seen whether the 29-year-old will attempt to come out of retirement again going into the 2026 season. Graham Glasgow (knee) will remain as Detroit's starting center while Trystan Colon serves as the backup.

Set to play through injury
Ragnow will play through a sprained ankle and sprained knee and suit up for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
