Frank Ragnow could have begged out of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and no one would have batted an eye.
Ragnow suffered a groin injury in drills last Wednesday and practiced sparingly the next two days. Joe Dahl took most of the Detroit Lions' first-team reps at center, and seemed destined to start in Ragnow's place.
But Ragnow not only made it to the field for the Lions' 34-16 victory over the Jaguars, he was one of just two offensive linemen to play every snap in a game where few blockers survived unscathed.
