Lions’ Frank Ragnow Played Through a ‘Fractured Throat’

NFL players play through injuries. Some injuries are worse than others,  but at some point, a football player plays even though he probably shouldn’t be playing.  Now let’s talk about Lions offensive lineman Frank Ragnow, who played with what is being reported as a fractured throat. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Ragnow suffered a fractured throat against the Green Bay Packers this past Sunday.

#Lions potential Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, who did not practice today, suffered a fractured throat in the first quarter Sunday and finished the game somehow, source said. He’s played the most snaps at center in the NFL this season… but could miss this week.

O-lineman have one of the most underappreciated job in  sports. There’s absolutely nothing sexy about being an O-lineman.  But these dudes are the unsung heroes on a football team.

Props to Ragnow for being one tough Son of a B.
