A person familiar with the situation says Detroit Lions standout center Frank Ragnow has a season-ending toe injury that requires surgeryOCTOBER 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Headed for season-ending surgery Ragnow is scheduled to undergo season-ending toe surgery in the coming days, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact One of the NFL's top centers since he entered the league in 2018 as a first-round selection, Ragnow was rewarded with a four-year, $54 million contract extension in May. The first season of that long-term deal will end up going down as a disappointment, as Ragnow played in just four games before heading to injured reserve last week with the sprained toe. After a visit Monday with Dr. Robert Anderson, Ragnow will heed the renowned foot specialist's recommendation to undergo surgery. The procedure will keep Ragnow sidelined for the remainder of 2021, but he should be back to full health well in advance of the 2022 campaign. Evan Brown is expected to serve as the Lions' starting center while Ragnow is out.

Impact Ragnow is dealing with a toe injury sustained during Sunday's loss to the Bears, and for which he will be forced to miss at least a minimum of three games. With the standout center sidelined, Evan Brown looks like he will be forced into a starting role. The shift could prove unfortunate for Jared Goff and the Lions' offense, with a matchup against Danielle Hunter and the Vikings on deck Week 5.

Lions' Campbell keeps taking risks; results not there yet
First-year Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has gone for it on fourth down a league-high 10 timesOCTOBER 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
May miss multiple weeks Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Ragnow suffered a version of turf toe during Sunday's loss and is "probably going to be out" for some time, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Lions made Ragnow the highest-paid center in the league this offseason. Before the injury, the 25-year-old had delivered on the big contract by playing every single offensive snap for Detroit this season. Evan Brown replaced Ragnow for the remainder of Sunday's contest and will likely draw the start at center in Week 5.
