DETROIT – Former Detroit Lions Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow is not rejoining the team.

Ragnow retired from the Lions back in June, due to injuries. Last week, it was reported he was returning to the team.

On Saturday, Nov. 29, the Lions announced Ragnow failed his physical and that a hamstring strain will prevent him from participating for the rest of the season.

Ragnow had been one of the best centers in the league since the Lions picked him in the first round of the 2018 draft.

He played 96 games in the Honolulu Blue over that span, making four Pro Bowls and earning All-Pro Second Team honors three times.
