Avast ye! In the tumultuous battle known as the NFC Divisional Game, Detroit Lions' seasoned scallywag, Frank Ragnow, be left battered and bruised by the fearsome Buccaneers of Tampa Bay. Yet, with heart and grit, he fought on, defying the odds despite grievous injuries!
In a humorous tone fit for a 17th-century pirate, fans of the Detroit Lions were in a state of worry when their All-Pro center, Frank Ragnow, fell to the ground during the NFC Divisional Game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ragnow had gotten twisted up during a play, and the video showed him in considerable pain as his knee turned awkwardly. As the crucial piece in ensuring the offense functions properly, his absence would have been a blow to the team.Fortunately, Ragnow returned to the game just a few plays later, easing the concerns of the fans. However, their relief was short-lived as he sustained another injury, this time to his ankle, during a fourth-and-goal play. Despite the sprained knee and ankle, Ragnow remarkably continued playing.
According to NFL Network, Ragnow is expected to play in the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers, despite his injuries. Head coach Dan Campbell expressed his admiration for Ragnow's determination, emphasizing his belief in himself and his teammates.
Ragnow, the 20th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, has been named second-team All-Pro for two consecutive seasons. The Lions' offense has been one of the best in the league this year, thanks in part to their strong offensive line, which includes Ragnow along with Penei Sewell, Taylor Decker, Jonah Jackson, and Graham Glasgow. Their success has allowed quarterback Jared Goff and the rest of the offense to perform at an elite level.
Heading into their matchup against the star-studded 49ers, the Lions will be underdogs. Coach Campbell will be hoping for good health leading up to the game, as it will determine which team represents the NFC in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
