Frank Ragnow went up to quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and Chase Daniel early in Sunday's loss to Green Bay and told them they would have to make the line calls the rest of the game.
Because Ragnow could barely talk. At the time, Daniel thought it was funny -- mostly because no one knew until the day after the game how bad Ragnow's injury was.
The center, who has been ascending to one of the top in the game this year, was quite serious. At some point in the first quarter, Ragnow fractured his throat.
