Center Frank Ragnow suffered an injury to his throat last Sunday during the Lions loss to the Packers. I think the initial concern was just all the trauma that he had to it, so after seeing more specialists throughout (Wednesday), they basically brought it to that it s more of the vocal cord injury, Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell said Thursday. So they re having him rest his voice, won t be speaking really here. (Wednesday), no words spoken; today, no words spoken, he s not supposed to talk through Friday, and then we ll be able to reevaluate it on Friday toward the end of the week.
The injury does not even sound real. And the fact he played the entire game despite it is mind-boggling.
Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow missed practice Wednesday with a fractured throat he suffered in the first quarter of last week s loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Ragnow played all 68 offensive snaps against the Packers, but his status for this week s game against the Tennessee Titans plus the Lions final two games is uncertain. For most of the game, the dude couldn’t talk, Lions quarterback Chase Daniel said. And when I came up, he’s like (whispering), Hi, I can’t talk. You got to make the calls. I was like, All right, I’ll do it. It was funny at the time, it’s not funny now cause it’s a serious injury. And the dude played the rest of the game and I don’t know if he gave up a quarterback hit. It’s impressive, it really is.
