Following the Detroit Lions Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals, the Lions exited the game with a litany of injuries. One of the biggest concerns centered around All-Pro center Frank Ragnow, who had suffered a partial pectoral tear and was ruled out of the Lions Week 4 game early in the week.
While pectoral tears can have up to a six-month recovery window, the Lions believe that Ragnow not only escaped a season-ending prognosis but may also avoid being placed on injured reserve, meaning he is expected to return sometime in the next four weeks.
