Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow had been dealing with a nasty toe injury for the last two years, and it’s something he’ll likely have to deal with for the rest of his career. On Monday, he admitted the plan was to continue to take veteran rests off of practice for himself and called the condition “chronic.”
The turf toe injury caused him to miss 13 games in 2021, and while he only missed one game last year after injuring it again, he was consistently in pain throughout the year. He admitted the mental stress of having to deal with the injury was hard.
