Four-time Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow is coming out of retirement and returning to the Detroit Lions.
He has decided to unretire and return to the Lions because he “loves the game,” Adam Schefter reports.
Wednesday was the deadline for Ragnow to come out of retirement to be eligible to play this season. Schefter reports that if a player is on a club’s reserve-retired list, he must be reinstated before that team’s Week 13 game.
Detroit hosts NFC North division rival Green Bay on Thursday in its annual Thanksgiving Day appearance.
The Lions still hold Ragnow’s contractual rights for two seasons — this year and next. When Ragnow returns to Detroit this week, his contract will be reinstated.
Ragnow announced his retirement in June after seven NFL seasons.
