Frank Ragnow, the Detroit Lions center and four-time Pro Bowl selection, announced his retirement on social media, emphasizing the difficult decision to focus on his health and family. Despite his desire to continue playing, he acknowledged that his body could no longer keep up. Ragnow expressed immense gratitude for the Lions organization and the support he received throughout his career, having started 96 games since being drafted in 2018 as a first-round pick. His contributions included earning second-team All-Pro honors in multiple seasons.
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. I have given this team everything I have and I thought I had more to give, but the reality is I simply don't.
I have to listen to my body and this has been one of the hardest decisions of my life. The Lions organization has been absolutely incredible throughout this process.
