Campbell Gives Slightly Encouraging Ragnow Injury Update

Lions expect to know Ragnow’s status on Monday.

The Detroit Lions’ momentum in the first half of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints came to a screeching halt when Frank Ragnow left the game with an injury.

The setback was officially diagnosed as a knee injury, and Ragnow failed to return to the game. In his absence, the Lions inserted Colby Sorsdal at right guard, and shifted Graham Glasgow over to take Ragnow’s place at center.

Following the game, a 33-28 win for the Lions, Dan Campbell provided an update on Ragnow’s status moving forward.

“Nothing, we won’t know till tomorrow,” Campbell explained. “At first, coming off, it was sounding like one thing, and then after the fact, it sounded like something maybe a little bit different. One was not as good, one sounds more positive. So, I won’t know until tomorrow.”

Campbell clarified that the second update was the more encouraging one, though not specifying what either was.

Ragnow has been dealing with other injuries throughout the season, and takes practice off at times to rest his body.
