Frank Ragnow fails physical, won't rejoin Lions this season

I didn't realize he was only 29 years old. Awfully young to retire.

Right, a good indication of the toll the game takes on these guys' bodies.

Respect to all of them but especially those guys who play well into their 30's.

Had a grade 3 hammy strain...that's typically not a permanent injury. Just a guess on my part but wouldn't be surprised it happened while he was preparing to come back.

Of course, that in itself makes sense. The only thing the grade 3 hamstring injury did was thwart his 2025 come back.

The earlier point being that it was longer-term injuries which initially prompted Ragnow, or other players before him, to retire young.

These stories rarely work out. Hell I believe Phillip didn't look good his last year there.

To many, the average NFL career length is remarkably short - < 4 years. Players are bigger, faster, stronger, and the impacts are even more harsh.....the toll it takes on recovery, joints, cardiovascular system is immense as the seasons go by.....no matter how much you train or how strong you are. These men are well paid, yes, but they give up a piece of life quality to play at the highest level. Some end up giving up more, unfortunately. We pay for the entertainment and to see the competition, but yeah......it can be a brutally violent sport.....it's an interesting perspective to just watch what's going on in the trenches during games.
