BollywoodFever: The Detroit Lions have released their final injury report ahead of their Week 4 Monday night matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, with key updates on center Frank Ragnow and rookie tight end Sam LaPorta.
Frank Ragnow Out, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. Questionable
The Lions officially ruled out center Frank Ragnow, who is dealing with a pectoral injury. Head coach Dan Campbell had already hinted that Ragnow would miss this game, and the veteran center has now been officially sidelined for Week 4.
Cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury he sustained during practice. Rakestraw missed last week’s game as a healthy scratch and now faces another potential absence.
