Ruled out for Week 4 Coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that Ragnow (pectoral) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Seahawks, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Impact Ragnow, who is tending to a partial pec tear, will sit out Detroit's home matchup against the Seahawks and then benefit from a Week 5 bye, potentially allowing him to retake the field Week 6 versus the Cowboys on Oct. 13. Michael Niese figures to start at center until Ragnow is ready to go. Ragnow is a pillar of the Lions' offensive line, so the team figures to prioritize his long-term health above all.
