Former Lions center Frank Ragnow attempted to come out of retirement in November 2025 but failed his physical and confirmed his NFL career is over. At a charity event, he expressed regret over his decision to try and return despite his body’s limitations. The Lions sought repayment of part of his signing bonus following his retirement, citing precedent with other players like Barry Sanders. Ragnow, a first-round pick in 2018, was a three-time All-Pro and had made 96 starts for the team.
