The Detroit Lions have announced that center Frank Ragnow will not rejoin the team. The star player failed his physical examination. This news comes after Ragnow ended his retirement to help the Lions in their upcoming playoff games.
A physical is a standard medical test all players must pass. It confirms an athlete is healthy enough to play. By not passing, Ragnow cannot officially sign with the team or participate in games.
Ragnow, a key player for the Lions, had initially retired earlier this year. His decision to return was seen as a major boost for the team's postseason ambitions. His absence now creates a significant challenge for the Lions' offensive line.
